[quote=Anonymous]I think there are a lot of pretty insufferable people all over this city. EOTP people assume that WOTP are rich snobs. WOTP people assume that EOTP are hipsters who care more about brunch than having a good public school. Everyone scoffs at people who made their housing decisions assuming that their kid could get into one of the HRCS, since that's about as much of a pipe dream as anything ever was.

Me, I rent EOTP. We could rent WOTP, probably for less money, but I like where I live. The future stereotypical WOTPers who live in my neighborhood (white people with little dogs who make a lot of money) are the worst part about it, and it's not all of them either.

People set up their lifestyles based on a variety of things. For us, it's important that I can walk my child to school and then walk on to work. I couldn't do that if I lived in Chevy Chase or Tenleytown and most likely, I would end up driving because the bus combination for school --> work, even if school was walkable, would probably take longer. I hate driving in general and don't want to pay $12/day to park my car at work. If we moved WOTP, we would still live in an apartment, so the yard argument doesn't really fly.

That said, if we moved over there, we would be closer to 2Amys, which would make DH pretty happy.

All this petty stereotyping and griping about other people's choices is depressing. Everyone is doing the best they can for their families. No need to be smug or petty about it.[/quote]
