[quote=Anonymous]We made the exact move (with another stop in NW for a couple of years) and feel so lucky to have ended up in old town. It often feels like we’re on vacation. It’s more walkable than when we were in nw. One thing that I didn’t fully appreciate until I moved was how easy the city services were. People on nextdoor and Facebook complain but it’s a piece of cake to get any permits, reserved parking, report a tree down, etc. Heck I’ve even emailed the mayor and he wrote back in an hour. We had hellish experiences in dc w/ city services, could never get a reply from our anc rep, etc. A lot of the hate and panic online is over crime in Braddock or Arlandria or Fairfax county parts of Alexandria. The rage on our neighborhood group is over the occasional stolen package or solicitor coming door to door. Old Town is wonderful. [/quote]
