[quote=Anonymous] I realize one cannot argue with the free market, but it makes me sad to think that the neighborhood feel of those parts of Palisades near the eponymous park and Hardy Park (if that still counts as Palisades) become lost to McMansions and the people with enough money to buy them. Nothing against the wealthy particularly, but it is nice to have some diversity--older ppl maybe living on fixed incomes, some SAHMs or (as in our case) SAHDs, maybe even some people who have careers other than Big Law or K street. Again, not slamming the wealthy, but have lived 'hoods where that is all there is...you don't see much of them, is all I am saying. And agree with PPs that the scale of these houses on small lots does not create a good aesthetic for the street. They may be smaller and sometime shabby but I like the parts of Sherier etc that are not McMansions...[/quote] +1[/quote]
