[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If wealth and lowest crime are the yardsticks, then NoVA is BY FAR the best place to live. You cannot argue this. It's just a fact. Sure, you may not like the "walkability" score, or maybe you don't like the architecture. But that's all tertiary to me when considering the best neighborhood for my children.[/quote] +1. That walkability doesn't mean squat[b] if you find a drug needle in your front yard, your kid gets jumped, your car is broken into more than once, etc.[/b] You can find a walk score in the 80s in Fairfax/Loudoun if you really want to. And I have to walk further to get to the chain restaurants in my neck of the woods. [/quote] The fallacy is that these are no longer facts of life in most longer-gentrified (and, in the case of UpperNW, practically ossified) neighborhoods in the District. [/quote] Car getting broken into is a constant problem in Upper NW and Bethesda! Not sure what you are dismissing as fallacy. Cars get broken into nightly in the neighborhoods that feed to Westbrook Elementary and Janney Elementary. I know because I lived there.[/quote]
