[quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand the appeal of Columbia Heights either.  You've got incredible traffic, so that if you drive anywhere it takes forever, little greenspace, the stores are all cookie cutter chains, as are many of the restaurants, and the crime is high.  I wouldn't want to live there if I didn't have kids, and when you add kids into the mix, you've got the fact that the IB schools are lousy, and the affluent kids end up segregating themselves in charter, OOB, or private school.  The two populations in the neighborhood are so distinct

I absolutely understand the appeal of a neighborhood like Brookland, or Brightwood, or Petworth, with beautiful family friendly neighborhoods, and lots of diversity in all dimensions, and schools that are developing so that they reflect the diversity of the neighborhoods, or Capitol Hill, or Mount Pleasant, or Adams Morgan with lots of culture and interesting stores and restaurants (as opposed to Target, Giant, IHOP and Panda Express) But Columbia Heights leaves me scratching my head.
