[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will either love it or hate it. I hate it, and will tell you the things I hate about it, which you may not hate.

It is stridently liberal. I am liberal. But because I do not have a yard sign that says "love loves here and we love all kinds of people" I suspect my neighbors, who've also heard my opinions re: the Co-Op Parking Lot Wars, do not think so. I'm not sure. We no longer speak.

If you love yoga classes, and expensive yuppie Mexican food, it may be for you. If you are a nice white family who wants some diversity around them and support for your quirky teen without ever having to inconvenience yourselves by worrying about poverty, or cultural tolerance, it may also be for you: there are hundreds of families just like yours. Parents with advanced degrees, good intentions, NPR tote bags, and family money. In the age of Trump, it could almost sound comforting, maybe. [/quote]

Hmmm, TPer here, and I am an independent/centrist. TP is definitely not the liberal enclave it once was and we are very happy here.  Maybe ten or so years ago, people would move here to make a statement about themselves and a liberal identity. Now people seem to move here simply because it is a great place to live. Nice neighbors, lovely homes that are not cookie-cutter, walk to metro and schools (which are good) and some great, unique restaurants. And the new library is awesome.    [/quote]
