Breakfast links: Development chugs along

Tysons advances to next stage

The Fairfax Board of Supervisors will consider Tysons plans today, but some seem skittish about restrictions (Markham Heid/Examiner) … The Post chooses more of a person on the street approach to coverage. Some like Tysons, some don’t. (Kafia Hosh)

Narrower storefronts good, “ironic” or “parody”?

Real-time London train locations

At least four tipsters sent along this mash-up showing London Underground train locations in real-time thanks to London’s APIs. However, I can’t get the live version to actually show data. Can you? Maybe it’s overloaded? (Sustainable Cities Collective, Erik W, Andrew)  (Tip: Erik W)

MoCo approves trail over opposition

The Montgomery County Planning Board approved a walking and biking trail along a lake in Derwood. Some nearby residents opposed the “bike highway,” arguing the shore should be kept as a “secluded type of wilderness,” while others said keeping the trail out prevents those who live farther away from enjoying the lake as well.

Do millionaires move for taxes?

When DC was debating a tax increase on the wealthy, some argued millionaires would leave the District. Would they? In other states, at least, that doesn’t happen. (Dylan Matthews/Ezra Klein via @SaveDCSafetyNet)
