[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You obviously aren't familiar with these neighborhoods.  Petworth's crime is not comparable to Trinidad or Truxton Circle.  [/quote]

It's a close second.[/quote]

Seriously. These people are grasping at straws. I'm the past few days alone a 2 year old child was shot by a stray bullet, a group of girls face stomped and attacked with a meat cleaver another girl outside the Petworh Metro, and cops had the entire neighborhood on lock down as they chased a group of guys robbing people at gunpoint.

But yeah, your real estate agent thinks prices will only go up and the neighborhood is "really turning the corner!"[/quote]

You sound angsty and jealous that Petworth housing investments have skyrocketed compared to yours!  Aw, have a latte at the Starbucks in Friendship Heights and stare longingly at Bethesda.

(Nope, I don't live in Petworth.  I'm just calling you out because you sound like a jealous hag.)[/quote]

NP here. That's funny because I bet I'm the only one on all of dcum who owns a home in chevy chase dc near the FH metro AND I own a home in petworth on 7th st. So there's no chance I am envious of,those with equity in blechworth, if you think it through. Right?  I've got the investment working for me in both 20015 and 20011.

Petworth is comparatively gross. It's physically ugly, dirty, and the streetscape is boring and monotonous.   90% of the homes look exactly like each other.   There's only one street with any commerce and you know what? Save for a handful of restaurants, blechworth can't even carry the water of the FH commerce.   You mock Starbucks but you know what?   AutoZone.   For every crane and turtle, there are 9 shitty chicken carry outs.   Cheap cell phone stores.   More garbage stuck to the curb.  
 
And, child? Those of us who bought in the DC that you  mock, (while you were still wearing My Little Pony pull-ups in Ohio) made a killing before you ever got to DC.  That's why I own and rent out the ugly rowhouse at the end of your block today.
