[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]National Harbor in Maryland. There's one way in and out, it's always a traffic nightmare. [/quote]

This is a contender. You pay $850k+ for a townhouse in a dense setting and there isn’t even a basic grocery store. I know someone living in National Harbor and they said all of their neighbors are constantly driving across the river to Alexandria for much of their groceries/shopping/dining.[/quote]
I’ve been saying this for a while.  These new developments that went up in last 2 decades focus on condos and weekend crowd amenities, like bars/restaurants and a few shops that aren’t for practical living.  They lack basic amenities of a livable non-car dependent neighborhood.  I can’t understand spending a lot of money to live there to experience urban living and still have to drive for basic errands.  It also sucks to visit once you deal with terrible traffic and painful parking situation (and parking costs rivaling Manhattan).  I have no desire to go back when you could go to Georgetown or Alexandria for more charming waterfront setting and easier access/parking.  [/quote]
