[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an eye-opening read for me.  I commented on the PoP post about his decision to move, simply suggesting that if I were in his position I'd go a step further and move either to North Arlington or Bethesda because he's essentially moving to the suburbs for schools and the schools in North Arlington and Bethesda are better, especially after elementary schools.  Others may disagree, but this is hardly a rude or acerbic observation.

He deleted the post.

Now I understand why every comment on his post about moving was so supportive . . . really pathetic, if you ask me.  He lost this reader.[/quote]

why do car-less rowhouse dwellers persist with this baloney?  Does it threaten your own authentic bonafides to accept that a lot of Red Line Ward 3 is as close to downtown as Petworth is, with far more walkable commerce and -- because of apartments -- greater population density?

Or maybe you guys have just never left your neighborhood.  That is also possible.[/quote]

+ a million.

I posted earlier about how I am much more accessible to my job, commerce, and my kids' school in Van Ness than I was in Petworth.  It's actually just this attitude that drove me out of Petworth.  The reverse-snobbiness was ridiculous.[/quote]

I live in Petworth because I can afford to, but certainly not because it's near anything! In fact my biggest complaint is that it isn't![/quote]
