[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please rezone Lafayette to feed into Wells/Coolidge. These bigots are so entitled. They need to be taught a lesson. [/quote]

They'll just send their kids to private. CC is my hometown. My kids are 4th generation CC. Everyone knows that neighborhood kids that stay in the area live in CCDC only if they are REALLY rich. They send their kids to private school. The mildly rich buy homes in CCMD and send their kids to MCPS. [/quote]

You must be joking. The majority of CCDC folks are middle class people in small houses who've been there forever. [/quote]

No, this isn’t true. Sorry. For one, they were never “middle class.” They were upper income, white collar professionals. And only people who have been there forever fit in that category now. Anyone moving in is priced out. [/quote]

The baby boomers in this neighborhood were not all white collar professionals. Many were just middle class. One of my neighbors was a hairdresser who owned a small kiosk in one of the department stores in Friendship Heights. Two are contractors. One was a teacher. The later generations are white collar.

+100  My older neighbors are a mix of former teachers, government workers, and journalists.  Some had creative careers.  The younger folks are white collar, but not the older ones![/quote]

Yes but journalists are white collar professionals (many government workers are, too). They're not paid as well as K Street lawyers, but that doesn't make them somehow blue collar.[/quote]

Thanks, I think we meant that they weren't UMC white collar. When I say white collar professional now I pretty much think of the UMC. There aren't any young teachers or government workers in this neighborhood anymore. [/quote]
