I'm the PP. Did you miss the part where I said we moved to somewhere and then "will never go back?"

By that you might be able to deduct that I no longer live there.

Whoa, your thread starting post said that you moved "outside the beltway," which clearly implies that you remained in the DC area. Then 3 pages later it emerged that you moved to the midwest. Why didn't you just say where you moved in the first place instead of doubling down? Quite Trumplike of you. No wonder your neighbors don't like you.

OP for the record "outside the beltway" clearly means you moved to Fairfax or Rockville. It does not mean you moved halfway across the freaking country. For that, use "I moved halfway across the freaking country".

+1, obviously OP is a tad unbalanced, which is isn't going to cause her to make friends too easily.

And here is another Trumpian who cannot read but attack like a dog.

And just like Trump, would never apologize for an error.

Agreed, if she's this rude to us, imagine how she comes across to the neighbors.

I really think people are on this board just to have an opportunity to lash out. Trumplike indeed. Folks, the Midwest poster is not the OP, but someone who commiserated with her. That's why in her post above she said PP and not OP. Read closely before you jump on somebody.

Yes. I am the PP who at one point moved from a major coastal city (Seattle) to the suburbs of a midwestern city (Birmingham, Michigan) and then to DC. That's why, in my original post on this thread, I said "I'm sorry. A similar thing happened to me...."

No - I am the OP. I did move from inside the beltway. To an exurb. I am not a midwestern poster.

Fairfax might ght as well be flyover land. Boring, soulless, cesspool.

It's the largest jurisdiction in the metropolitan region and the economic powerhouse. Nothing else in the region comes close.

It's an oversized county with an overrated school system and strip malls.

I moved in from the soulless dump of an other burb to a close in community on Metro inside the Beltway. I was thrilled from Day 1. You never should have moved.

I agree it doesn't take a year if the neighborhood is a good fit (we also had that experience when we moved from Dupont to AU Park - it was great from the start). But with some effort, it may be possible to warm up to a place that initially seems soulless. If not, consider moving.

True, true.

Most people, most jobs, best schools, best shopping, most aggregate wealth.
