[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before I moved here I was insistent we live in the city limits. It didn't take long for me to realize that aside from like one neighborhood we couldnt afford, there was no place in DC that didn't remind me of either a small town after a neutron bomb had been dropped on it or a suburb. The streets were deserted. The list serves were full of natives complaining that [b]people from Maryland and Virginia drove down on 'their' streets[/b].

Thinking we could move someplace I didn't hate quite as much, we moved to a close-in burb.

Reader. It's exactly the same. [/quote]

You sound fun. They were complaining about cut through commuter traffic. That's a huge quality of life issue and it has nothing to do with whether you're a "native" resident. [/quote]

It’s not cut though it’s just traffic, what do people think living closer to the bullseye would entail. Bonus points for on a gird to disperse the traffic [/quote]

Moat suburbs are designed to be places where people who don't live there have no reason to go to. They have massive main arteries that are ugly and dangerous and hundreds of winding roads that go nowhere. This is by design.

People who move to DC often have this mindset and do not understand that their neighborhoods are adjacent to other places. Truthfully, more traffic, both foot and road, makes everyone safer and is a vital part of urban life. But DC is not a town that values that. [/quote]

Its like city mouse and country cousin's story.[/quote]
