[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone live in petworth who can afford better parts of the city?  I always assumed people moved there because they couldn’t afford H street, CH or Shaw.  [/quote]

[b]These are not "better" parts of the city than Petworth.[/b] None of them are more family friendly or have better schools. CH and Shaw have more crime. While you may be able to afford a place in those neighborhoods, your money will go farther in Petworth. Petworth is centrally located enough that being an extra mile closer to downtown isn't going to make a huge difference to many people.[/quote]

You can't be serious. I can 9 off the top of my head. Logan Circle, City Center, Dupont Circle, Kalorama, Mt Pleasant, Adams Morgan, Potomac, Crestwood, U Street, Downtown. Not to mention all of Upper NW. Wow delusional is the name of the game with you.[/quote]

Reading comprehension fail. The PP was responding to the specific neighborhoods in the post. And for a family, I'd question whether Adams Morgan, U St, or "downtown" are actually better. Sure, there are there nicer parts of the city than Petworth (hard to compete with the absurd luxury of City Center), but Petworth is still a great neighborhood and way better than many other DC neighborhoods that are still developing.[/quote]
