[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the "too white" poster, and for the record I never said Maury was 20003.  I don't know the CH zips codes at all.  Another poster responded to my saying that I ended up in 20009 by comparing it to 20003.

All I'm saying, again, is that the first place we looked after deciding to move into the city was CH, including specifically the neighborhood around Lincoln Park, and all I saw was white couples in their 30s and 40s pushing expensive strollers while accompanied by designer dogs.  I was like, nope!  But maybe that's what OP wants.[b]  We wanted more.[/b][/quote]

I think this vibe is why people are getting offended. Adams Morgan isn't inherently better than Capitol Hill. I've lived in DC for a long time and have lived in both neighborhoods. They are just ... different, and different kinds of people want to live there. Capitol Hill feels quieter and more like a village within a city and many people are connected to The Hill for work and people don't generally come to NW very often. It's too far and annoying so they stay on the Hill.

Adams Morgan and Dupont and U street just have a more gritty and simultaneously wealthy and more chaotic city vibe, and are more integrated into the larger city.

It's just different. Not better! Not "more."[/quote]
