[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, this is the schools forum, but most of the above seems like a self-justification entitled, "why I chose to be on the right side of residential segregation and don't want to be judged."

There's a premium for everything in Upper NW, from higher cost of housing to higher cost of living to limited transit, etc., that makes living there a deliberate choice.

Live with it.  We all vote Dem, we just don't all live the liberal lifestyle in practice.  We can all do better from the position we're in, so just try to do that.[/quote]

So I'd have to give up a walkable school and an easy commute, both of which allow me to spend more time with my family, in order not to be judged by insufferable people like you for "not living the liberal lifestyle"?  Um, no thanks.  Judge away.  Doesn't bother me at all.[/quote]

+1. And when we bought in 2009, we also looked EOTP (Mt. Pleasant, area around U St, Shaw, Cap Hill) and WOTP. The cheapest house we could find that fit our criteria was WOTP, so here we are. I couldn't care less about "living the liberal lifestyle" because I am a liberal from Europe and have nothing to prove. Of course I also had no clue the park was some sort of ideological divide (what I did naively notice back then, looking at crime maps, was that crime was significantly lower WOTP, and of course I thought that was a plus).[/quote]
