[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will never be upscale.  The newer construction are mostly tacky McMansions.  Most upscale neighborhoods (Georgetown, Wesley Heights, Chevy Chase, Great Falls) have some sense of history or charm to them.  You can't create history or charm in PH, thus, it will never be near upscale.[/quote]
What you call history or charm is really generational affluence, nothing else.[/quote]

But generational affluence is what defines "upscale." You can try to imitate it, but it never really rings true.[/quote]

That's BS insofar as this area is concerned, since the area is transient and generations don't really stay in one place.  Just admit you want to plug your neighborhood of old houses.  It's OK, really.  Some of us might even like it.

You can blather about history or charm all you want, but all "upscale" really means is an area where even the entry-level housing is expensive.  By that measure, Pimmit Hills isn't upscale, but I'd argue that it's really irrelevant to most people who live there.  Some people there may oversell it as an investment opportunity, and others will defend it when it's attacked, but for the most part it's a place that attracts people who are more concerned about finding a convenient place to live and getting on with their own lives than about their neighbors' homes or income levels.   That's probably a hard concept for you to grasp. [/quote]
