[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know both of these areas and hands-down Bethesda. I can't imagine why anyone would actually want to live in Georgetown.

Georgetown is crowded, full of tourists, parking is a nightmare, driving around is terrible, the people are stuffy and elitist, you're surrounded by people like RFK and his wife, and then on the other hand a bunch of spoiled Georgetown students. And then boatloads of clueless tourists.  Everything is overpriced. And the crime is much worse. Why would anyone live there?[/quote]
When is the last time you lived in GT? We were away for awhile too (left before the pandemic), and when we came back, it was not as safe feeling as before (e.g., some of the bums seemed more aggressive and would approach, whereas this had not been the case when we frequented before). I think this has gotten somewhat better in the last couple of years, but I would feel more comfortable with my teens roaming Bethesda on their own.[/quote]

By "bums" do you mean the homeless people with serious mental health issues who the DC government has no programs in place for? Those people aren't bums, PP, they're some of the most vulnerable and neglected people in society. Just call them homeless or unhoused or the mentally ill.    [/quote]
