[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It always amuses me when people who are bitter about being priced out of the hill come on DCUM to vent their frustration. [/quote]

I love living on the Hill. I had no idea there were people (although this has to be one person with a grudge) who felt that way. Perhaps, they were priced out of the Hill or had a bad experience in the area once.

I worked in Georgetown years ago and was mugged. I also mistakenly entered an illegal massage place that was for prostitution (I know, I was clueless but didn't stay learn more). I still have an ill feeling about the area when I visit.

Nothing has ever happened to me or anyone I know on the Hill. I guess it's all your experience....

I worry about my friends in California whenever I hear about a earthquake and can't imagine why they would choose to live there. They say the same about me living in DC. They're afraid of terrorist attacks and convinced that I should have escape routes planned and gas masks handy. It also reminds me of two students I met who were visiting the mid-west (where I used to live) from Japan and they were paranoid that they would be shot (and asked me a million questions about their safety).  It's all about your past experience and perception.

The negative poster(s) commenting about the Hill obviously have a VERY different perspective than I do. I feel MOST comfortable on the Hill. Everyone looks out for each other on the Hill. I've never been part of any community so tight and caring.

Why do the posters feel a need to bad mouth a community where lots of families are moving in everyday and folks are genuinely happy?

Anyone's guess. What's yours?
