1. Tysons Corner sprawl (CIA satellite city) is a traffic nightmare for the whole region.

Tysons distills all that's gone wrong with Northern Virginia (and America) since the Reagan years, as privatization and bloating of military/intel sector installations and contractors have gobbled up real estate, increasingly spread into the outer suburbs, and drive the growth of the federal budget. It's unliveable and unsustainable.

And, since the real estate is so valuable in CIA sat city, they demand that the rest of us pay an extra billion dollars to put the Silver Line underground so the developers can build more corporate towers.
