[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people living in 22207 aren't living the same lifestyle as you, although you'd really, really like to think so. "Greatschools.com" doesn't quite begin to cover it.[/quote]

That's probably true. No metro there. No sidewalks either.[/quote]

Are you for real? There are sidewalks all over 22207. Sidewalks are what distinguish Arlington from the neighborhoods over the Fairfax County line. And a large area of 22207 is walkable to the Ballston Metro or ART bus routes to the Metro. You can also walk to the strip malls on Lee Highway from 22207.[/quote]

I grew up in 22207 and sidewalks in my neighborhood off Military were spotty at best. Similarly, several of the neighborhoods where my friends lived either did not have sidewalks or had spotty on again off again sidewalks. I'm not saying the rest of Arlington is any better (although I do currently live in a neighborhood in another Arlington zip that does have sidewalks AND wide streets).[/quote]

True, but 22207 is huge. It borders Ballston on side which is very walkable. 22207 along Lee Hwy is also walkable to shops and bus lines. [/quote]

It does border north side of Ballston but still at least 4-5 blocks from Metro. In any event, I was talking about sidewalks in the neighborhoods and think the PP was too. Obviously sidewalks have been included in the more dense areas in Metro corridor and along the major secondary roads but there are many neighborhoods that don't have them consistently.[/quote]
