[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the new money not green?  Old money vs new money is a stupid argument and I don't care which side of it, you are on.  I am guessing that 99% of the posters here aren't on either side.

Isn't the argument whether you want to live in the city, and pay more for less, or live outside the city and pay more, get more?  You trade sidewalks for horse fence, you trade walking to shops for some privacy and setback from your neighbors.

It is not one size fits all.

I have inlaws who live in a very small house in DC.  They think it's great.  I can't stand visiting there for 10 minutes.  They come to our house and complain about the drive (8 minutes from the beltway).  My house is 5 times the size of theirs, my deck is bigger than their entire backyard.  Neither of us would take the others' house if it was free.  That is why this argument is insanely stupid.  Thank god everybody isn't the same.

The topic, for whatever reason, was old money neighborhoods, not new money vs old money or why McLean sucks.

"Why McLean sucks" would surely take on a life of its own as a thread!  Great idea!  :)

I believe most residents would say that it is the people who could afford McLean way back, but no longer can, that are creating any disagreeable issues.
