People are genuinely nice here.[/quote]

We thought about moving after retirement, but decided against it. This city is filled with young families, not as many new retirees.[/quote]

Where did you end up?[/quote]

Downsized home in Bethesda.[/quote]

Honestly, if you ended up in Bethesda, Mount Rainier wouldn’t have been for you, regardless of age. [/quote]

Oh please, they’re not that different and pickle ball is fun. [/quote]

Nothing wrong with pickle ball, but MtR and Bethesda could not be more different.  [/quote]

This really isn’t true. I have lived in both. Bethesda is generally wealthier. That’s really it, especially among SFH owners. [/quote]

When did you live in each and for how long?  [/quote]

About ten years in Bethesda and 5-10 in MtR[/quote]

Yeah I don’t know what to tell you, they aren’t the same for very different reasons.  Bethesda is wealthier … and snobbier,  Mount Rainier is much more diverse.   Maybe you’re one of those people “who don’t see color”?

The 5 largest ethnic groups in Mount Rainier, MD are Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (43.1%), Other (Hispanic) (21.4%), White (Non-Hispanic) (17.5%), White (Hispanic) (9.4%), and Two+ (Non-Hispanic) (2.68%).

I already said Bethesda is wealthier, and MtR is certainly more diverse but less so in SFHs. If you move in two Bethesda your block is going to have a bunch of dual income college grad families and the same is true in Mt Rainier. It’s silly to sit on a high horse and pretend they’re worlds apart. In the grand scheme of things they’re not. [/quote]

On my block of single family homes in MtR there are Hispanic, Black and White families, Interracial Couples, Gay couples, Gay Interracial couples, Academics, Construction workers, Yoga teachers, Non-profit workers, Architects, Artists and Engineers.  I hardly think that’s like Bethesda.  It’s just not the same.

New poster:  I’m sorry, but it’s just not that different.  The stereotypes of the two areas are farther apart, but the reality is that the people are fairly similar.  I think you are stereotyping people from Bethesda.   [/quote]
