[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just sick of people saying that "hipsters" move to Petworth because it is trendy, instead of the reality that normal people move to Petworth because it is affordable.[/quote]

And I'm just sick of people calling Van Ness the suburbs, soulless, etc instead of the reality that many nromal, not-rich people move their because they prefer a walkable neighborhood with good schools.  We made a good profit on a condo we bought early in our marriage and were able to use that for a small house in Van Ness a few years ago.  We spent less on our house than many people I know who live in Columbia Heights, Petworth, etc.[/quote]

Fine, so we are in agreement. Both neighborhoods are mischaracterized. I certainly did not move to Petworth to be hip. I moved there because it was the only place in the district I found an affordable house that needed no work done. Just like maybe you moved to Van Ness because of its walkability and access to schools and services. Both go against the ridiculous conventional wisdom that one is "hip" and one is "soulless." Also, all the hipsters are on H street ;-) No fedoras in my immediate vicinity. [/quote]
