[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We go there regularly, because Navy Yard is now in Ward 8. If you visit Nats stadium, Canal Park, or Capitol Riverfront you are in Ward 8.[/quote]

I don’t consider navy yard to be that safe. [/quote]

The enjoy your time in some vanilla exurb.[/quote]

You obviously don’t get out much. I have several URM neighbors who left DC and settled in NOVA. I swear some of you are stuck somewhere between the 1950s and 1980s where people live in black or white neighborhoods. I’m in my 50s and never lived in a one color neighborhood in the big urban city hometown or here in the burbs (DCUM regularly trashes our area — too many brown people for blue NOVA).

Having been around the DC area, I’d like to know what areas you *think* are vanilla in the burbs or exurbs. If by vanilla you mean UMC (not racial make-up) with few to no so-called poors as DCUM likes to call them, I’d agree with you. Same could be seen in some DC proper areas. [/quote]

by vanilla, I mean cookie cutter houses made out of pressboard and tyvek that will fall apart in 20 years, and repetitive strip mall retail and restaurants (and yes, I know there are a few pockets of uniqueness like Eden Center.[/quote]

And no sidewalks or bike paths or other amenities.  Need a car for frickin everything.  I hate the burbs.[/quote]

What on earth are you taking about? Arlington has tons of mom and pop neighborhood shopping centers and some of the best parks and bike paths in the country? Arlington has been hailed for their parks.
