[quote=Anonymous]OP this is PP.  I don't know your definitions of beautiful vs. ramshackle.  The range of sizes and conditions reflects a neighborhood that developed gradually over 130 years, rather than all at once.  Obviously much of the development happened post WWII but I grew up there and my oldest neighbors lived in a much older, smaller home (still in existence, beautifully renovated) could remember a farm within walking distance.

The recent split between large new builds (often the the builders cut down the tress you mentioned) and small, older houses (in many cases, owned by people who have lived in the neighborhood for many decades) reflects post 1990s housing prices, the location close to the DC line and to the Potomac, and the larger-than-average lot sizes for the area.

To your question, do people mind it?  Some of the longest-term residents are upset with the scale of the tree-cutting for new builds, and are pretty vocal about it.  The residents I know in new builds seem to be happy where they live.  IMO it's a beautiful neighborhood and full of nice people of all generations.[/quote]
