I hate it when people use terms like "refugees" to describe moving out of their DC homes in pursuit of the bland white suburbia that is Arlington. It is so incredibly tone-deaf and self-indulgent.

You were probably never cut out for urban living to begin with. Glad you've found your natural habitat.  Enjoy your lily white suburbia.[/quote]

Get over yourself.

+1 -- Arlington (or Montgomery County) are hardly what I'd consider "lilly white".  You may see far less urban poverty, but the surrounding counties are remarkably diverse.[/quote]
