[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Silver Spring is ghetto and I wouldn't live there but then again I grew up in the Whitman district. [/quote]

Must be a kick in the ass to have to live in Rockville now that you are less successful than your parents.[/quote]

Not the PP, but it's such a sad irony that so many people are MORE successful than their parents, but can't afford their childhood neighborhoods.
That said...hey, Rockville's looking pretty good these days.[/quote]

Eh, I think you're seeing a restructuring.  Plenty of young people are moving to new places, kind of making their own way. I doubt there are many 25 year olds that would want to live in Bethesda anyway, if we're being brutally honest... [/quote]

Um, well yeah, because those 25 year olds don't have families yet.  Let's see how they feel when they're 35 or 45 with school-age kids.  I don't live in Bethesda myself, but I can't say that I wouldn't have at least considered it, had I been able to afford it.[/quote]

Right.  But the 25 year olds don't have families right now, that's the point.  In 10 more years, with time in the job market, I'm sure a good portion of kids who grew up in the Whitman district will be able to afford it.  That's one of the advantages of family wealth, as unfortunate and unfair as that may.[/quote]

The point I'm trying to make is that one didn't have to have family wealth or an incredibly lucrative job to live in Bethesda 30 years ago.[/quote]
