[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5:58, do you have a link to any stories?

18:41, I have lived with drug dealers, boarding houses, and hostile extended families on my block. Neighbors having drunken fights at 1am -- are they part of the charm or just the price you pay -- hey, at least you don't have a commute![/quote]

I'm not seeing the connection.  You lived on a shitty block for a few years, so no one should live in a decent neighborhood somewhere else if the local school boundaries include any low-income neighborhoods?  Were you really so traumatized by the experience?  [/quote]

No, just providing a counterweight to folks who think South Arlington, Annandale, south Falls Church, etc., are fabulous alternatives for those making under 150k HHI, because a commute over 30 minutes long is just TERRIBLE and HORRIBLE and MUST BE AVOIDED!

OTOH, if you end up in a HOA Hell in Ashburn, you've now got the terrible commute and terrible neighbors.

Moral of the story: your immediate neighbors can make or break an area. [/quote]
