[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd highly recommend Columbia Heights around the 11th street corridor.  there are a lot of people with young kids, great places to eat, and better walkability than bloomingdate, petworth, or takoma park (other places mentioned here).

am surprised to see all the bloomingdale posts (sock puppeting?!).  It just doesn't seem like a great place to live, given the proximity to north capital street, crime, and general sketchiness.  i sure wouldn't move there just for big bear and a couple other places to go drink.   [/quote]

[b]Bloomingdale is in a much better location than Columbia Heights[/b] - closer to downtown, closer to 395, closer to 50, easy to get virtually anywhere in the region, plus walking distance to NY Ave/NOMA metro and Shaw/Howard.  It also has really beautiful housing stock.  As for general sketchiness, that's relative, but personally I feel that Columbia Heights has more issues and feels less safe than Bloomingdale.  I've lived there since 2002 and would have said the same thing then.  Columbia Heights has a lot more section 8 housing than Bloomingdale and all the issues that brings.  Bloomingdale is very diverse and also a very friendly, welcoming part of the city.[/quote]

No, someone has a different view than you.  What specifically do you disagree with?[/quote]  I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the bolded part of the PP.  [/quote]

So, you think there is more section 8 in Bloomingdale, that its more sketchy than CH?  That Columbia Heights is closer to downtown?  That the green line is better than the red?  That one metro is better than two?  That CH is closer to 395?  What exactly?[/quote]

Why so many dcum discussions have to end into bitter feuding.
Chill out people ![/quote]
