[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup, our rental on CT Ave in the Murch boundary feels like sell out. Have you had to make this choice?[/quote]

My beautiful, restored 1913 home inbounds for Murch, with a wrap-around porch and lush gardens does not feel a [snicker] "sell out"--  because I haven't compromised my integrity.  That would be the definition of sellout, did you know this?   I still have a moral compass.  I'm not clubbing baby seals.

Living in a less expensive neighborhood doesn't make one a better person of character.   Sorry.[/quote]

Who said EOTP neighborhoods were less expensive? I live in Shaw, send my kids to a charter I'd prefer over Janney or Murch, but at times am tempted to sell my place near U street and buy a larger house WOTP for the price i'd get for my place. [b]A lot of WOTP homes are now cheaper than the sought after EOTP neighborhoods. [/b]And the new Whole Foods hasn't even opened (two blocks from me).[/quote]

eh.   Not really.   Someone always finds the two or three row houses that list for $930,000 in upper NW and pits these against a 4-story grand dame in Logan Circle to make their point.    [/quote]

I don't know. I think I could sell my $1M house near U street and get something for the same amount in Ward 3 with more square footage. Would it be huge? No - but I would be larger and have a small yard. And for $1.3 million I could certainly get something larger in bounds for Janney than I could with a few blocks of Garrison.[/quote]
