[quote=Anonymous]One thing that’s noticeable and sad about the expensive parts of MoCo is the lack of retail compared to other similar neighborhoods in the country. Chevy Chase and Potomac in particular. Compare the retail options in Chevy Chase DC and Friendship Heights to a place with similar housing in Boston like Brookline and it is night and day in terms of the quality of stores and the relatively complete lack of sketchiness in Brookline compared to these neighborhoods. Ditto similar neighborhoods with expensive pre WW2 SFHs in the close in the Main Line suburbs of Philadelphia or in Northern New Jersey, Scarsdale NY, and nicer Connecticut suburbs. Going out to shop or eat is depressing compared to these places. And yes, people who live in these places can go to Bethesda but why in the world are the areas in DC near Chevy Chase Circle or in MD and DC near Friendship Heights on the same level as places in these other regions when you consider how much money is in the area?
