[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if you're looking to buy in upper NWDC you should definitely familiarize yourself with the Spring Valley FUDS map. [b]We were uncomfortable buying in another hot upper NW neighborhood because of its proximity to the FUDS.[/b] [/quote]

Step right up, AU Park![/quote]

Unless you are speaking of the tiny part of AU Park that was part of the FUDS, this only makes sense if you also eliminate the Palisades, Wesley Heights, and Kent - any neighborhood that borders the FUDS.[/quote]

Yes, I eliminate all of them because I want safety for my family and tranquility away from the highway in the sky (ie flightpath, which is a blight on these neighborhoods and an environmental hazard at least equal to FUDS).[/quote]

Um, what parts of NW DC do you believe are not blighted by one environmental hazard or another?[/quote]

Seriously. Every part of DC has issues, it is a city. Plane, train, automobiles, safety /crime, access / walkability, traffic, nightlife, greenness... you make your choices and love with it, but every neighborhood has its pick of poisons. Just pick the one with the least offensive ones to you. Fr example, while I adpres these areas for.other reasons, on days when the wind blows ip.from across the river, half of old / towm / del ray smells like sewage.

The flightpath comment is just as bad to me as Trump's idea that a wall keeps out drugs when the majority of the drugs come by shipping container.

Have you looked at the flight paths? In detail? They go through literally dozens communities on both sides of the river in various directions.

The worst is georgetown, by far, where you have planes and helicopters very low at all times going to a from bases in addition to commercial floghts. IMHO. but for some reason, all these planes only make noise over a swath of palisades, and kent when the dcum cronies get really fired up.  Not Georgetown, not McLean / ChainBridge, not montco, nope!! Only over the bungalows in Palisades. Okay......[/quote]
