[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the "too white" poster, and for the record I never said Maury was 20003.  I don't know the CH zips codes at all.  Another poster responded to my saying that I ended up in 20009 by comparing it to 20003.

All I'm saying, again, is that the first place we looked after deciding to move into the city was CH, including specifically the neighborhood around Lincoln Park, and all I saw was white couples in their 30s and 40s pushing expensive strollers while accompanied by designer dogs.  I was like, nope!  But maybe that's what OP wants.  We wanted more.[/quote]

Makes sense - did you end up in a neighborhood that is Too Black? Or Too Latino?  [/quote]

It seems likely they chose a neighborhood they like, right?[/quote]

We ended up right in the middle of it all:  14th/Logan/U Street.  We literally can walk to absolutely everything you need in 5 minutes or less (well, everything but a doctor’s office), and we’re within 15 minutes walk of Dupont, Adams Morgan, Columbia Heights and Shaw.  Then of course there’s the metro, again five minutes walk, where the yellow and green lines take you directly to just about anywhere else worth going to—Nats, Wizards, Caps, Navy Yard, National Airport.  It’s exciting and, yes, very diverse in terms of race, age, income, occupations, Spanish speaking, etc etc.

Like others have said, it ain’t New York—not even close—but it’s the closest thing we’ve got regardless.  We’re very happy with our choice.  [/quote]

Glad you found diverse people meandering in your periphery to fill our your cosplay experience bro.[/quote]

Diversity actually does change the neighborhood feel and some people's closest friends are their neighbors.  Cosplay experience or life?  
I picked the richness of diversity in my relationships over a comfortable culturally uniform neighborhood experience, but you do you.[/quote]

Jesus christ this is like a parody. There is no way this person is serious lol.[/quote]
