[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are very similar communities: well-educated, affluent, though Bethesda is more broadly so, and less diverse.

I live in 20910, and love it. And, speaking in very general terms (because we have lovely friends who live in Bethesda an)--what sounds more like your tribe:  are you more of a keeping up with Jones' type/anxious about risk? If so, then Bethesda is your place? Or, are you a little more laid back, and want diversity, or okay with it?

I like Bethesda, but people seem a little more anxious over there.  [/quote]

[b]The last census have residents over 25 with just a bachelors degree at 35% for greater silver spring and 80% for Bethesda. Incomes where about 1/3 in silver spring and housing prices about 1/3as well.  While the number are slightly better closer to downtown SS where it is closer to 50% and 1/2 & 1/2[/b] They are not similar communities, silver spring just thinks they are. [/quote]

Sorry, but the most recent census bureau estimate has nearly 70% of adults over 25 in 20910 with a bachelor's degree or higher.

Not the PP, but also a 20910 resident, and I will take my smart, down-to-earth 20910 neighbors over the grasping, insecure, Bethesda snobs.  I'm sorry it is upsetting to you to realize that there are intelligent, well-educated, successful people who do not aspire to live in your neighborhood.  [/quote]
