That sentence begins "Wright says...," a reference to Gwen Wright, an Alexandria city official interviewed for the story and first identified in the lead paragraph. As such, it appears to be an indirect quote, presented without quotation marks because the string of adjectives were used by Ms. Wright but not in that exact phrasing. That does not indicate that "Around Annandale is writing from the perspective of government-employed urban planners," it indicates that she's QUOTING a government-employed urban planner.<br /><br />Fine, disagree with Alexandria's approach. But seriously, if you're going to be a pompous ass on a free blog, at least read and comment on the words as written without letting your worldview get in the way.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-56008290379118854822013-01-18T14:38:41.118-05:002013-01-18T14:38:41.118-05:00I remember when Landmark Mall was open air, simila...I remember when Landmark Mall was open air, similar to the town centers of today!

"Environmentally sustainable"? Really? What about "profitable". Without that, it can collect all the rain water it wants...it'll follow all its predecessors into bankruptcy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
