Happy to do it because I loved my neighbors, the restaurants and shopping, and frankly helped my property values skyrocket. Then had a kid and realized I don't want him to get caught in a random drive-by at the park. I want him to be with other kids who have warm clothes and full bellies. So I moved to CCMD. Not saying that's the best or only place to get that. Some of my neighbors are transplants in the same way. We spent 15-20 years in DC and our lives changed, and CCMD was a great place for us to go. We love our neighbors and the restricts and shopping is just as good or better.

This is much more honest, although the "warm clothes and full bellies" thing is not what you really mean because as you point out, one does not need to move to CCMD for that.

I mean high (er) average SES. I'm not white and an immigrant so I like being around people of color like me. CCMD has a good mix of racial and cultural diversity that I wanted for my kids. I'd even argue there's more cultural diversity than where i can't from in DC bc it's more international here

Okay I'm taking you off my "honest" list. You mean high (no er) average SES. it's Chevy Chase for goodness sake. DC or MD, high (no er) average SES. Even for the area. The diversity thing is bonkers - CCMD is 85% white. Every other group is vastly underrepresented, for the area and for the nation but especially for the area. The international families in CCMD are wealthy global citizens - any cultural diversity your kids encounter will be limited to fun holiday or food related traditions. Again, it's a nice neighborhood! But call it what it is.

Are you the poster who inherited the house in Somerset? If you are, a multigenerational [white?] wealthy poster, lecturing non-whites on diversity is not a good look. At all.

I'm not, but also, those were just census facts.

No, you went well beyond census facts.

CC MD - Boring, White, Wealthy

If that is you, you will love it there.
Otherwise, I suggest you reconsider

We chose CCMD because we want our kids to go to BCC which is fairly diverse rather than Whitman which has almost no diversity. So yes choosing CC was in part motivated by wanting more diversity.

Is there a problem with that?

What if I’d say don’t move to an area because it’s black?

Some people keep insisting turning everything into race.

what is the difference between CC Village vs Martin’s Additions vs Section 3 ?

Well the context would be different because of centuries of violent oppression and decades of housing discrimination.

Silver Spring is diverse.

CC MD “diverse”? No.

Please, all everyone does around here (scum) is knock other people’s choices. If someone started talking about diversity in Silver Spring, you can bet someone will bring up how these schools perform less than other schools in the area, with a whole host of racially based jabs like too many FARMS kids. Or maybe you go in another direction - Poolesville, too Asian?

I meant “dcum” not “scum” that was an interesting autocorrect.

I find that European Americans have a rich and vibrant culture. If you don't like it feel free to move elsewhere. Elsewhere is probably a lot cheaper anyways.

PP says he chose CC MD over Whitman/Bethesda because the former is “diverse.”

It is not.

It is not.

But the schools ARE more diverse and substantially so. At B-CC you often hear Walt Whitman referred to as "Walter White-Man".

This is why I can’t quit dcum.

People are looking for an easy commute to the city, have $$ to spend, and want a top public school. Within those parameters are looking for the most diversity. No one on here has gone straight to diversity - there a number of factors they are considering first. But When you go straight to state and national averages, you miss (and frankly in my view pretty disingenuously) the original criteria of location and schools.
