[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why anyone chooses to live in any of these neighborhoods in Upper Caucasia, to be honest.  You’re basically paying top dollar to live in what are essentially suburbs - except you’re stuck with city services and city schools and can’t walk anywhere.  Why bother?  It’s the worst of both worlds.  [/quote]

Gimme a break.  I live EOTP but if you think people who live in Kent and Wesley Heights are "stuck with city schools" you're thick in the head.  Nobody with a $3.5M budget is worrying about neighborhood schools. [/quote]

But they’re still stuck with city services.  And most of them don’t have school aged kids anyway.

I just don’t get it.  Those neighborhoods are BORING.  [/quote]

I live in WH and don't care about schools or "city services" - bluntly, we can pay for better services privately. [/quote]

You can’t pay for a different mayor, different police department, different water company, etc.  Nice try.

I’m not impressed with your money.

And you’re neighborhood is BORING. [/quote]

DP. Your'e right, my neighborhood in upper NW is boring, but it's not as boring as the neighborhood in the actual Maryland suburbs I grew up in — it's a lot easier to walk to the store, to restaurants, to friends' houses (because the lots are smaller), to school (my high school was not walkable from my childhood house, and my intermediate school was much farther than Deal is from my house now). It takes me less than 35 minutes door to door to get to my office. I have absolutely no complaints with the water company (you think WSSC is vastly better than D.C. Water?) and crime is rising in most of the nearby suburbs, too, so why do I want a different police department? And my house was cheaper and has a lower tax rate than similar houses in Chevy Chase, Md., were when we bought it. It's smaller, sure, but it's a little obtuse to pretend there's just NO POSSIBLE REASON anyone would rather live in upper NW than in the suburbs.[/quote]
