Security issues aside, this will make traffic in Old Town even more unbearably screwed up than it already it. The people who live in those new condos by the courthouse and those who work at the Patent Office will be under siege, and forget about going to Whole Foods. Add that to the mess at Eisenhower Ave., Telegraph Road and the Beltway and you have a recipe for chaos: You can’t get there from here.
And notice that several new apartment buildings have appeared near the courthouse with $2000 per month single bedroom apartments. Are these prices being driven up by apartments leased by legal teams that are gearing up for the inevitable? Can’t have the terrorist’s lawyers inconvenienced by traffic and security.
And don’t even think about driving there on a nice weekend. Argh!
