[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, upper NWDC is suburban feeling.  But who the F cares?  Why is this such a big deal?[/quote]
It's not really a big deal, per se, I just think it's really funny when people who live in Upper NW act like their neighborhood is soo much more OMGURBAN and walkable than someone who lives just over the border in MD or in somewhere like Clarendon or Lyon Village in Arlington just because their address includes OMGWashington, DC. It's funny especially because my neighborhood in Arlington is closer to downtown than many neighborhoods in Upper NW. [/quote]

Who cares what word describes where you live. If you’re close to things, but live in a neighborhood with homes, good for you, you’re probably urban. But the names don’t matter. Just enjoy where you live and who cares where you live or what defines your area. Some of the people here are so insecure. [/quote]

I was just talking about this with a friend, though, as we have a good friend living in DC who does make a big deal about it. I think it probably is because of the DC school system; it is so much worse than those in the close in suburbs, people (such as our friend) use the argument of “urban living” as a justification for living there and throwing money at privates, when it would probably make financial sense to move to MD/VA and have possibly more of a walkable lifestyle. Personally, I find the “urban/suburban” argument on par with the suv v minivan debate - at a certain point you just don’t care what people think and do what works for you. And sometimes I dream of living in the true suburbs out in Reston or Chantilly and having space from the neighbors![/quote]
