In response to your last question:  I would definitely be open to living in Alexandria. I chose Arlington as a starting point because my brother will be moving there.

And thank you for the Shepherd Park recommendation. [/quote]

Shepherd Park is certainly nice, but I don't see any reason to take on that commute for jobs in NOVA.  It is far. My son used to have soccer practice in SP and it was a schlepp from Arlington.[/quote]

black folks like being around other black folks and high income black folks being around other high income black folks.  Shepherd Park is one of the only places that is black, high income, and walkable in the entire DMV.

and p.s this goes for all races/incomes.  People like being around other people like them[/quote]

I think there's some truth to that, although SP is not only black these days (although it is still home to many prominent AAs, such as the newly appointed Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution).

My very rough guess is 50% AA (with probably half of these being elderly), 15% Jewish, 15% interracial, and 20% everyone else.  The latter three categories seem to be increasing the fastest. [/quote]
