[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will either love it or hate it. I hate it, and will tell you the things I hate about it, which you may not hate.

It is stridently liberal. I am liberal. But because I do not have a yard sign that says "love loves here and we love all kinds of people" I suspect my neighbors, who've also heard my opinions re: the Co-Op Parking Lot Wars, do not think so. I'm not sure. We no longer speak.

If you love yoga classes, and expensive yuppie Mexican food, it may be for you. If you are a nice white family who wants some diversity around them and support for your quirky teen without ever having to inconvenience yourselves by worrying about poverty, or cultural tolerance, it may also be for you: there are hundreds of families just like yours. Parents with advanced degrees, good intentions, NPR tote bags, and family money. In the age of Trump, it could almost sound comforting, maybe. [/quote]

Takoma Park is a small city with all sorts of people (not just those you describe). For most, these issues don’t even come up.

We like the proximity to downtown, the schools, the trail and the “small town feeling” downtown.  Restaurants are good too though we don’t eat out a lot.  Our neighbors are nice.  My primary complaint is that if your kids do certain semi serious sports, the drive to those facilities after school can be tough![/quote]

Yes, which points out one of the TKPK negatives: they try to make it difficult to drive around, so it takes time to drive out of the city of Takoma Park.  If your tendency is to drive most places, you'll benefit from living near a major road because it's hard to get out.[/quote]

I’m the poster you’re responding to.  I don’t find it at all difficult to get out, but once out, you have to deal with long drives to, e.g. Rockville and Bethesda where many sports clubs are based.  [/quote]
