[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Del Ray used to be cool and arty and then it sold out.  Now it is a wanna-be old town and as boring as a suburb but with poorer schools. [/quote]

Is there a grand conspiracy going on where every thread about NoVA somehow turns into a Del Ray hate fest?[/quote]

It's part of the broader conspiracy to denigrate all neighborhoods South of Rte 50 which was historically the dividing line between white and black areas. This idiotic exercise is a dog whistle for whites-only neighborhoods. [/quote]

Del ray and route 50 have little to no connection.

Also, most of Del ray is a historically white  area.

Interestingly, a lot of what is regarded as old town now was historically black and very poor.  Old timers in Alexandria took a LONG time, maybe the 80s before warming up to the idea that old town had changed.  [/quote]

Del Ray is South of Rte 50 last time I checked.[/quote]

So is Florida, what’s your f’ing point?[/quote]

My point is that you obviously don't understand the effect historic segregation lines continue to have on Northern VA real estate dynamics. Del Ray will never be valued the way communities north of Rte 50 are because regardless of county, neighborhoods South of 50 are more heavily populated with minorities--initially blacks and later other immigrant groups. This has always makes the schools less desirable to white buyers. Del Ray can't escape its poor geographic position.[/quote]
