[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a 5th grader and a 7th grader who lives less than two blocks from the very corner mentioned in the OP, I can tell you there are plenty of families with older kids along H Street. Within one block, there are at least five families with kids in middle school. Two with kids in high school, even! And then tons with babies, toddlers, and elementary students. If you think H Street is all DINKs, you either have never been to the neighborhood or have only walked from a bar to pick up UBER out front. Other than the apartments right on H, this neighborhood is heavily populated with families. The houses are pretty large for the old city part of DC and many, including ours, have yards big enough to play in. [/quote] I lived off 6th & H up until about 18 months ago, and didn't do much Ubering to the bars. I stand by the previous statements. Just because you and those other 7 couples think it's a family friendly neighborhood doesn't make it so. [/quote] Tell us what exactly qualifies you to decide which neighborhoods are family friendly. [/quote] +1 since you did not have children and lived on one of the busiest one way north streets on the Hill, you might not have seen a bunch on your way to and from work or out on the weekends. I think you left before the Whole Foods, which has so many kids that I do not like going there. I also doubt you spent any time in Stanton Park from 4-6 on weeknights. Did you go over to 7th Street on Saturdays to see which little league teams were playing (they ran 2-3 games a day there in the fall and spring). Just saying, people run in different cirecle and are also self absorbed. That does not make things true or untrue. [/quote]
