Arbutus, Maryland breaks that pattern completely, and the retirees who’ve made it their home are living proof that you can have a genuinely wonderful life without spending a genuinely alarming amount of money to do it.

Major metropolitan county chooses data center block against budget deficit

(The Center Square) – Real estate once home to Landover Mall until 2002, and since a mostly vacant parking lot, is now the site of a stalled $5 billion data center in Maryland’s financially troubled Prince George’s County. Brightseat Tech Park, approved in 2024, has been met by protestors disputing its revenue generation in exchange for what they say is water pollution and higher electricity bills. The project was scheduled to break ground this year or next. Developers projected annual local tax revenue at $53.5 million. The county has a projected $151 million budget deficit. Prince George’s County is home to nearly 1 million people, the University of Maryland, Bowie State University, and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. On July 7, the county council passed a two-year pause through Resolution CR-066-2026. The woes are significant for the county and area this decade. Six Flags America, a 515-acre theme park in Bowie and Upper Marlboro, permanently closed; the NFL Washington Commanders are expected to exit Landover by 2030, going back to the site of their longtime home at RFK Stadium; and 2U Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Guest Column: New zoning approach needed for housing

Northern Virginia continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in the United States. Despite federal job losses from DOGE over the past two years, our region is set to return to positive job growth by the end of 2026. A little over 2.6 million people are living in the area right now, and that number is expected to climb to over 3 million in the next few years. This growth has bolstered the local economy but has also created a significant challenge – especially around the cost of housing. The most recent Virginia Joint Legislative Audit & Review Commission report shows that the Northern Virginia region needs over 60,000 new affordable housing units to support growing industries in manufacturing, healthcare and information technology. Organizations like the Northern Virginia Affordable Housing Alliance, Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce and others have warned that this gap in affordable housing units risks business growth opportunities that would directly lead to slower economic output. We know that the problem exists, but the only way to solve it is through additional data and regional cooperation. It is important to understand that decisions related to housing cannot be made in a vacuum. We know that
