[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how the denizens of truxton circle, petworth and mount pleasnt imagine that all the houses inbounds for, say, Murch or Janney "need work" and are "small."   Really, petworth?

I'll grant that some of the full house row homes in Columbia hts or Logan are larger than the SFHs that feed into Janney. Or the typical 3 story colonial in Chevy chase.

But we all know you don't own one of those entire 1890s homes all to yourself in Logan. So knock it off with the hating

Are you, like, choosing to be dense about it? No one imagines anything like that.  Rather, people are being completely realistic that the type of house inbounds for Murch or Janney they can afford is LIKELY to need work and small.  If they could afford a big house in JKLM districts, they would have bought it to begin with.  Why do you think people bought in Petworth or Columbia Heights? Because they were priced out of better areas.  So knock it off with the money glasses. [/quote]

And they have to worry themselves about schools, petty crime, etc. unlike their friends that bought in suburbia or exurbia.

But you've got a few years in which to continue being smug about all the cool things you can do.[/quote]
