[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a weird question. If I had more money, I’d live by Bethesda, not Rockville. I wouldn’t live in DC proper. I enjoy not getting shot or carjacked[/quote]

Because of the fentanyl epidemic, most suburban areas are far more dangerous than urban areas. [/quote]

Ever seen an open air drug market in the suburbs?

Weird that you think fentanyl is a suburban phenomenon.[/quote]

I have. Go to your nearest Walmart or Target parking lot, wait about 15 minutes, you WILL see hand-to-hand sales. It's not as bad as rural areas, but it is bad. It's an epidemic that has no geographic boundary, but opiods reversed the traditional drug trends. It's messed up.[/quote]

+1 there are absolutely suburbs with a lot more criminal activity than my frankly sleepy DC neighborhood. I go to a Target out in the burbs about once a month because there is nothing like that near my neighborhood in DC, and in the last few years it's gone continuously downhill and become quite seedy while my DC neighborhood is mostly high SES with booing retail and restaurants and only gets better.

It's really kind of a case by case situation.[/quote]

Uh huh. You live in a very very rich area of DC. NW somewhere? Congratulations on the brag.

This is hardly representative and certainly not representative of most people who live in DC.[/quote]

So, it's not the city is the problem, it's your financial inability to live here.[/quote]

Oh, yes, I'm one of the poor city folk who can't afford your fancy real estate.

..and your fancy real estate is representative of all of DC including all of Northeast and EOTR, right??????[/quote]

If you moved to the suburbs because you can't afford the city, it sounds like failure and not *checks notes* everything being totally awesome.[/quote]

To be clear, we afforded the city and lived here 14 years but intentionally took on a [b]substantially higher mortgage payment[/b] with current rates on a SFH outside the city for a better lifestyle. [/quote]

*rolling eyes* am I supposed to be impressed?[/quote]

Doubt it, it's pretty clear you earn more, have much more expensive real estate and look down your nose on the poors and peons that can't afford your NW home. It's pretty clear you view anyone happier in the burbs as a sad sap who is beneath you.[/quote]

So, wait, is real estate in the burbs nicer and more expensive, or is DC nicer and more expensive. I can't keep up with you guys.

Try this: if you're actually happy and not at all concerned that people think you're a total failure for settling for your tickytack tract housing in the burbs, than own it and move along. [/quote]

No one cares to make this comparison and it doesn't make sense to. People live where they want to (and where they can afford). I live in a non urban area. I do not care where people choose to live. I don't think about it. I have never said in my head gosh people should not live in cities they must hate it even if they say they don't. [/quote]
