Capitol Heights sits directly on the Washington D.C.–Maryland border and is surrounded by parking lots and empty land 🤦

minus-squareplantfanatic@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-217 hours agoWhy mark it? It’s totally irrelevant to the point, but you’re fixating on it for some strange reason. So where would out of towners park? What about people in the surrounding agricultural areas park to get into town? Tourists? There’s reasons to have parking too. Not every single place needs to be maximized to the Sqft, there’s reasons to have space and open areas too.
