[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the PP who posted asking why the prices were so high. Not everywhere in the neighborhood is that walkable to Metro. In some of the neighborhoods , you can be on top of a Metro station for these prices. And while you pooh pooh people who like having restaurants and bars nearby, people who have one or two kids absolutely do appreciate retail and restaurants that are walkable and don't involve loading everyone into a car. Are you trying to tell me that there aren't families who live on Capitol Hill that don't appreciate Barracks Row? That doesn't jibe with the people I see out on the street.  Maybe when you had kids you decided your life had to end, but for many of us it does not.

It's a nice neighborhood, and I'm sure it does have a nice sense of community, but if I'm going to pay big city prices, I want big city amenities. That means walkable restaurants, grocery stores and Metro. A twenty minute walk one way to Metro is not that desirable. And loading kids to take the bus isn't either.  The zoo is nice, but honestly, how often are you going there? And both 11th St and 14th st are superior to the commercial strip n Mt. P, hands down.

This is just my opinion after limited experience.  I feel like the the idea of Mt. Pleasant is better than actual Mt. Pleasant. I'd love to be proved wrong though.[/quote][/quote]
