[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in Bethesda for 10 years.  When we moved into my hood, we moved into the first new build (I guess what you would all call a McMansion) on our street.  All the other houses on our block were 1950s ramblers, most of which had the original owners.  We got to know our immediate neighbors, but were not hanging out with them as they were mostly in their 80s and we had a new baby.  But we were all friendly, helping each other, etc.

Little by little, the neighbors moved or passed, and houses were torn down, with new McMansions coming up in their place.  Now those are all filled with young families with kids our kids' age and we have the greatest neighbors around.  We have become very close with at least 7  houses of neighbors and we all hang out together, kids play, we all look after each other's homes and elderly parents, etc.  I love living here.  Oh, and kids go to a mix of public and private, but we're still all good friends.

Please stop stereotyping us - most of us on oue block came from very humble beginnings and did well by working our way up. And Bethesda is too large to generalize about, I'm sure it varies from neighborhood to neighborhood.  I'd write more, but I'm heading over to my neighbor's house to watch the playoffs with a bunch of other neighbors!
