This is all my fault. Honestly, I picked a random DC burb in my initial comparison only because in my opinion downtown DC's height-restricted stumps actually shine, whereas the Innovation District's stumps do not. Bethesda was it only because I like the giant blowup shark that Discovery's HQ puts up during Shark Week. No logical or rational reason behind my choice.
I have only seen pics of Bethesda, Pentagon City, Tyson's Corner, Chevy Chase, Baily's Crossroads, etc. Never actually explored any DC burbs on the ground other than Arlington and Alexandria, and those are different beasts entirely.
Really, I only wanted to defend downtown DC's building stock. Shouldn't have picked Bethesda.
