We can't afford to move to the burbs and even if we could we wouldn't abandon our community. Who's the asshole here? You got your comfy four bedroom house and yard, so the hell with the rest of us, right? [/quote]
I think you sound a touch too dramatic without ever realizing it. "Communities", if such a thing even exists, do not belong to anyone. People come and go.  If you go, Columbia Heights will still stand. If everyone in Columbia Heights moves elsewhere, others will come to take their place and the sun will still come up every day. There is no "rest of us." There isn't even an "us". You have interests, and at this point of time, they happen to overlap with interests of others at your block, so it gives you this false feeling of cohesion.  The minute your interests begin to diverge, people will do what is best for them individually, just as they always do and should.

Don't pretend there are obligations and loyalties ("abandon our community"?) where none exist.[/quote]
