OK Rat Lady

Don't know if rat lady wrote this, but I actually agree with this poster. I think the outside just doesn't come close to matching the inside. It has zero curb appeal, but it is lovely inside.

I think it has a lot of curb appeal if you study it carefully. The other house is not appealing inside or out.

NP here. LOVE the TP description, BTW!!

PH is for those who are lucky enough to work in Tysons, and have a thirty second commute. Haters are in fact gonna hate.

The PH house is nice because it is new and in a convenient spot. The schools are actually reasonable, and you can walk to Tysons (are we not supposed to say that word here?) if you wanted to, now that there are (GASP!) sidewalks.

Not many people can afford new, as you can tell from this board, so why not buy new where it is convenient and safe? Having seen PH over the last few years, it is turning over very rapidly, and will be mostly new houses before too long.

In fact, most of the close in areas are going this route, to the dismay of the old house owners. They can't stop change, whether they like it or not! No matter where you live, the old houses will resent the new houses. Not that they would admit this.

Funny, I've never known stupid people to live in new houses; how do you think they got where they are? Not by being dumb.

And have you SEEN some of those so called "additions"? No thank you.

I would consider a new house in PH if I could afford it myself.

I do, but I'm not into walkability.

Sorry, but most of us on DCUM don't consider living in a tacky new McMansion in Pimmit Hills to be the pinnacle of success. At best it's a concession that all the surrounding areas are more expensive.

Lucky to work in tysons corner? I didn't know anyone willingly wanted to work there. Unless they were acting out an office space fantasy. Yes if you're stuck In TC then pimmet hills is a great location. Otherwise why the heck would you want to live there? TP isn't for everyone but I think it's character is at least clear and known.

22:44 has posted a similar rant many times. She has deluded herself into believing those who don't care for several of the new-build styles are just jealous haters.

Yeah, because if I could afford a new house, I would just be PRETENDING I couldn't. Because that is NOT transparent. RIIIIIIGHT. Why make your situation so obvious? When there is no sense to be had, there is no sense to be had.....

If I could afford a big new house, I would. And I wouldn't be trying to attack those who have been successful in their own lives. Everyone I know with a new house has no mortgage, and has made great decisions in their lives. That is part of why they are happy. Try it.
