[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"This is a ridiculous post. Millions of us in the DMV and across the country buy homes in neighborhoods that we've assessed to be on par with our personalities and values. What OP is doing is nothing new, nor does it evidence a lack of interpersonal skills. She's just in the wrong neighborhood. It's not a good fit for her. You don't have to get along with everyone and that is clearly the case here. Vienna is well-known in this area to be a certain type. If that's your type, great. But you cannot begrudge others for realizing that it's not their type. I refuse to live in DC because I know it is not a good fit for me and my family. I also didn't look at Woodbridge, Great Falls, Potomac or Silver Spring because they were not good fits. You Vienna posters are really proving her point." Nonsense. Self-assured, confident, and evolved people [b]do not buy where they will find clones of themselves and their personal politics or "values"[/b]. They buy for more practical reasons like price, commute, schools, proximity to desired retail and recreation. Their senses of self and personal happiness are not dependent upon living among other who agree with their political philosophies. [/quote] HA! You are ridiculously out of touch. Have you never talked to a home buyer? Do me a favor, check the real estate forum. Tell me how many threads there are re: neighborhood feel and vibe of community. There are hundreds. Go to the "what's it like living in Burke?", "What are the vibes of Petworth?", "What are the best NOVA neighborhoods" ,etc. I've never met a buyer that wasn't concerned with the type of community. I mean, Jesus, ask every single DC resident on this website. They do not stop with the NOVA vibes bit. I'm pretty confident and evolved. I'm not living in Stafford Co even if you paid me. I do not want to be surrounded by Jan 6 types. Sorry not sorry. That makes for a miserable environment. [/quote]
