[quote=Anonymous]We lived in two different houses on the Hill and loved many things about it. Well before we had school-aged kids, I decided I was sick of the constant petty crime (and some not-so-petty crime that was rarer), the random drunk/drugged or mentally ill people knocking on our door, taking a nice walk only to keep smelling urine, finding condoms and needles at the park or in our alley, etc. We moved to Chevy Chase. DH was opposed to the move but agreed reluctantly. Within the first week he asked what took so long. Life just became more peaceful in every way. If we forgot to bring in the stroller or a bike from the porch overnight, it would still be there in the morning. No more parking problems. I felt safer on walks. No urine smell, no encounters with mentally ill homeless people. No worrying about my kid finding a needle or used condom. And, the best and unexpected part was that we found an even stronger sense of community.[/quote]
