[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. I live EOTP and my house cost $350,000. Can I really get a house in a school WOTP in a good school district for the same price? Screw hipsterdom I would totally do that, if only for the yard. That's what you guys are saying, right? No difference?[/quote]

There are definitely differences in many parts of the city. But not in some of the areas about which many people seem to complain. I have been in many public forums and listened to people living in areas of Capitol Hill, Logan Circle, Shaw, Mt. Pleasant, etc. complain about the arrogant, rich people living WOTP and attending JKLM schools. I live WOTP but could not afford the homes in which these people live. They often follow up with how great living in their area is because they have great access to entertainment and restaurant options, most of which I cannot afford either. Or they have a newly renovated house with a yard in Bloomingdale or Petworth. So they focus instead on how they couldn't afford the exact same kind of house WOTP and paint everyone living WOTP with one brush. Which ignores that many people WOTP live in apartments and sacrificed the house and the yard only to be viewed as rich the moment they say which school their children attend.[/quote]
