Is "luxury car market" literal here or some kind of euphemism?

We live in close-in Bethesda just over the DC line and our neighborhood of $1-2M homes is all Honda/Toyota/Subaru, plenty of old ones too.

Ditto for our neighborhood in Potomac. I think the woke in east county have this fantasy of W school neighborhoods they've created I'm their minds. I'm sure there are pockets of gaudy, "Real Housewives" neighborhoods. But that's not the norm.

The original car issue was raised by OP, who lives in NW DC, and was clearly using it as shorthand for other issues. But DCUM never passes up a chance to take a swipe at East county.

Not really. Someone from easy county asked for it. OP posted "We are looking to move to Bethesda/Chevy Chase from upper NW DC" and right on cue, someone from East county with no impulse control asked " Why not Silver Spring)Takoma Park?"

No, they simply asked "Have you considered Silver Spring/Takoma Park?" Which seems like a pertinent question to ask when someone has said "We’d really like a diverse neighborhood, with down to earth people who aren’t competitive and who value community and inclusivity."

Yet they didn't include those areas in their request. This should have been a clue that they either know about the high violent crime rate in east county or the high number of woke lunatics or perhaps both.

Wrong yet again. The OP replied that they had considered SS/TP and thought they were lovely areas, but had been told, incorrectly, that there were not options there for her child's special needs.

I'm sure the weekly murders over there have nothing to do with it.

These neighborhoods include Ashburton or Wyngate where the houses are smaller and closer together. These neighborhoods have sidewalks which is really nice. They are near NIH so you get a lot of scientist families who are much for normal than the lobbyists.

North Bethesda and Kensington are also great places to live and there are more regular people there and less pressure. Also check out Garrett Park.

Really the same people.

Is North Bethesda just a fancy term for Rockville?

Qualities which are in short supply in West county evidently.

OK. OK. Bi-weekly murders. Is that better?

If you mean that were not Marxists and aren't race-obsessed wokes, then you're right.

There is a lot of crossover in the Venn of Wokes and Marxists.

I'm glad your parade of information has fulfilled your self-righteous indignation. I feel so sorry for you.

+1 or Rosemary Hills in Silver Spring but feeds into Chevy Chase schools.

I live in CC (RH-CCES) and my particular area is nice and down to earth relative to the rest of this area, but there are a vast majority that send their kids to private. This contributes to a disconnect in local community feel IMO.

Best of luck!

+1.
