Waiting for everyone who hates on North Bethesda and North Potomac to object to Aspen Hill is "Rockville" or Leisure World is "Silver Spring" or "Gaithersburg" on well and septic, just saying.

A right turn only sign topped with a yellow pedestrian crossing icon. The sign is posted in a way that almost certainly obstructs the view of the road for many drivers.
Watch for pedestrians, especially now that we have posted the sign that obscures your sightline. Traffic engineers are not OK, etc.

Somerset House: 402 units / 802,731.8 sq ft (18.43 acres) = 21.8 units per acre.
Compare to Twinbrook Quarter: 453 units / 174,841 sq ft (4.01 acres) = 113.0 units per acre (and a Wegmans).
The Saks Fifth Avenue parking lot + store is 5.5 acres. So 120 units vs 622 units.

Photograph of an aircraft carrier on a bright blue sea with the deck full of airplanes.
The parking lots are almost exactly the size of the deck of an aircraft carrier. Except an aircraft carrier deck is usually crowded, unlike these parking lots, which are not.
