[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is just a bunch of rich white mommies who equate prestige with whether they’d even consider sending their kids to the in boundary public schools.  That may work in the burbs but it doesn’t work in the city.  Not everybody cares about schools and not everybody is an old lady fuddy duddy.

Prestige is more accurately reflected in price per square foot.  Georgetown, Dupont, Logan etc are all first-rate DC addresses.  Most of the neighborhoods being listed here might as well be suburbs.  [/quote]

DCUM is profoundly suburban or suburban adjacent. If It's not a SFH with 2+ cars it's for losers, hence places like Dupont/Logan/Georgetown getting crap ratings, though I'd guess if you asked an outside observer of top DC addresses they'd feel differently. [/quote]

Yeah, I mean as a city resident I basically give zero weight to the opinions of people who live outside the core urban neighborhoods of DC. They don't get it, they won't get it, and they've made life choices that make it clear they don't value what I value.

Of course, it's virtually impossible to talk about walkable city neighborhoods on this site without attracting a bunch of haters. People really don't like knowing that you don't care what they have to say.

I do care a fair amount about what people in other city neighborhoods think of my neighborhood, and what my friends and neighbors think of my house and yard.[/quote]
