[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes CCDC is the suburbs.

So is Brooklyn [/quote]

And Queens! [/quote]

Queens feels like the suburbs. Most of Brooklyn does not until you get to Sheepshead Bay. [/quote]

Brooklyn is literally called the 1st suburb in the US.

It’s not about feel it’s about it being the suburb.[/quote]

Brooklyn and Queens offer very mixed housing options.  NWDC is definitely a lot more residential than either of them overall.  There are areas of Brooklyn that are similar in density to NWDC, but they are still better covered by subway access, closer and more frequent subway stops, more commercial strips in closer walking distance than NWDC, not as car oriented, as commercial establishments don't offer parking for the most part.  There are clearly suburban parts of Queens that are far from subway, but overall Brooklyn and Queens have large swaths of rowhouse/apartment building density that is closer in nature to DC core areas and not residential NWDC.  DC itself is about as dense as Brooklyn and Queens, it's a mid rise and rowhouse density.  NWDC has a more urban feel only around its main streets near metro stations, but metro stations are very far apart IMHO to make the entirety of this area feel urban.  It's more like a denser suburb, then a city.[/quote]
