[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington DCUMs seem to post the most negativity about all places other than Arlington.  I find it really odd- it's as though they have some sort of competition going on with anyone who doesn't choose to live in Arlington.  I lived in Arlington and couldn't wait to get out.  Most of the Arlington schools aren't great- not sure why the hype them up so much. [/quote]

What are you talking about? Please point out a poster from Arlington that is posting "negativity" about other places. is pointing out that many areas in "Fairfax and beyond" will be a long commute into town for someone who expressly requested a "decent commute to DC" a negative comment about another town? If so, then guilty as charged. I think there are many perfectly lovely suburbs around DC. But many of them require very long commutes into DC. If that's a deal-breaker for you, then you should know about that, yes?

If you were unhappy in Arlington, then wonderful for you that you moved. It certainly doesn't affect my property value. Which, by the way, is high precisely -because- I'm close to DC. Otherwise, I agree with you, Arlington's no great shakes.[/quote]

Yuck, yuck and more yuck.

* Hyperbole about how much time you save in commuting by living in Arlington

* Proclivity to talk about personal incomes and property values at the drop of a hat

* Inability to see how obnoxious it comes across to others

I'm thinking this condition may be caused from living close to too many Starbucks and standing too close to other Metro passengers over an extended period.

Ok then. What you call hyperbole most people call reality. There was no mention of personal income. Property value was directly tied to the first point, i.e., noting that clearly many value the "hyperbole" of a short commute. And speaking of inability to see how obnoxiously one comes across.... I am thinking that this condition may be caused by living so far outside of DC that you have lost all sense of reason. Or never had any to begin with.[/quote]

Give it a rest.  All you are doing is reminding many of us why we were happy to leave Arlington. [/quote]

Yes, being around logical people is certainly a drag when you are a complete idiot.[/quote]

There is no reasoning with some people. Let's just be glad that he/she no longer lives in Arlington - if that happened to be true. [/quote]
