Plenty of DCUMs live in DC's urban neighborhoods. You shouldn't assume we're all UpperNWesties, and by the way, not UpperNwestie doesn't automatically mean we've chosen larger, cheaper houses in Petworth over the walking neighborhoods you describe as "Yuppie". (That's an '80s-referencing term if ever there was one!)

Sure, your urban properties were great investments. But how do you not see the connection between their popularity and the increasing popularity of urban living?

I don't know where you all live. That's not my concern.  My point - which I am happy to repeat - is that the parts of DC served by public transit and therefore at least somewhat suited for the car-free lifestyle you covet constitute a tiny minority of that thing called District of Columbia. Most of DC residents cannot walk to their school (or want to), library, coffee shop or grocery store. It is therefore inaccurate to state that living in the District makes you closer to being car-free.

I never argued that urban living is not popular.  Only that it is not a model for everyone everywhere.  My rental properties are taken by young, single, not-rich office workers.  When they move on, others will come to take their place and they will be carbon copies of previous tenants. [/quote]
