Exactly. When it comes to real estate, the old saying is that you have three choices: location, price and quality - pick two.

These folks think that they can have it all and it is utterly ridiculous.

But beyond that, I find it fascinating how different attitudes are now from when I first moved to this area in 1999. Back then, basically white people did not live east of 16th street and Logan Circle was dangerous and 14th street was a hotbed of prostitution. People, mainly gay, that first starting moving to these neighborhoods considered themselves "urban pioneers". They then proceeded to buy cheapy and invest in their neighborhoods and then more people came and invested and then the city invested (adding the Columbia Heights metro stop) and so on until these neighborhoods are what they are today. [b]I guess people are not interested in taking risks and building value anymore. [/b]Typically instead, they feel entitled and deserve to live where they want. It's such a bizarre mindset, I have trouble wrapping my head around it.[/quote]

That's an interesting definition of "people" you're using there.[/quote]
