I never argued that PH is completely car-independent. I am not sure why you are trying to bring up things that were never said, and attribute that to me.  Who walks for groceries anyway? You don't have to cross Rt 7 for Trader Joe's, and one can certainly walk there from PH if one wants to, as well as to a coffee shop, pizza place, running store etc.

22042 is not "just five more minutes" to Tysons. You know that very well.

Of course there is a breakpoint between PH and 22042.  That breakpoint is in degree of their desirability, and it is explained by very objective factors - quality of schools, proximity to public transit and job centers, shopping, amenities etc.  That's not to say 22042 cannot improve in the future, but it is simply not comparable to PH today - not because PH is prettier or architecturally superior, but because of what PH offers that 22042 does not.  I never argued PH is high-end or upscale, and in fact I was one of the first posters to say so in this thread, but arguing that it is equal to 22042 is wrong on its face. [/quote]

You're not using a screen name, so you have to accept that statements here relating to PH get read in tandem.

Depending on the location, you can live in 22042 and be only five minutes further from Tysons than parts of Pimmit.  The areas are very close to one another.

We totally disagree on whether there is a breakpoint between PH and 22042.  Every single "objective factor" you cite is a statistic that can be measured along a continuum.  And, to be clear, I have never argued that 22042 is "equal" to PH (although I do think much of the housing is more attractive), but only that people will consider it as an alternative to PH if they feel PH is getting too expensive, they aren't getting enough for the money, etc.   It's just crazy to pretend otherwise.

22042 and 22043 are completely different locations and amenities. Only a moron would consider 22042 , they would look at other places in Marshall or McLean district.[/quote]
