[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but there are pockets of "suburban" living even in Georgetown.  Places where you can have a backyard and a cookout.  There are adorable little streets in WestEnd that are entirely residential, yet close to retail.  If she can afford Georgetown and its environs, why settle for anything else?  I concede the lack of a metro stop is annoying, but lots of convenient buses-- preferrable to be above ground when you are new to the city anyway!  Seems to me that Georgetown IS suburban compared to NYC.

NYC is not Manhattan, it's also Queens, Bronx and Brooklyn, and Staten Island (which is pretty much suburban).  There are deeply suburban areas in Queens and Bronx, which would make you forget you are anywhere near the city and a lot of Brooklyn is low rise and lower density urban.  I'd say most of DC (outside of National Mall) is similar to Brooklyn in terms of density and access to amenities, I would even say, DC is better, because it is better served by chain stores like Whole foods and Trader Joes, which Brooklyn lacks, and has more cultural amenities and museums and it's cleaner.  The subway stations in Brooklyn are vomit-inducing.    [/quote]

Umm there is a trader joes in Brooklyn and a whole foods too.  The subways by park slope, cobble hill, Brooklyn heights are clean and fine. Don't know what you found so vomit inducing.  Why are people so uninformed on this thread, yet so full of opinions?[/quote]
