[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are talking about NYC like it is only Manhattan. Parts of upper northwest have similar population density to Staten Island, Riverdale and Ditmas Park. DC is not the only city with areas where people have yards and are more than a couple blocks to the train.

I grew up in Fairfield County CT and what I think makes the suburbs here so different is that it is rare to find true towns with their own character and downtowns. First, school districts and most local governance here is not at the town-level, they are at the county level. That is a huge difference! Also, most of the nice suburbs near where I grew up had much better local recreation facilities for town residents. That means not having to join a pool club because the entire town was a pool club! Of course some joined country clubs - but most did not.[/quote]

Ummm what part of DC do you reside in? Say what u want to about PG and Mont counties (DC suburbs) but their park and recreation amenities are the best of the best in the nation. Here's proof of it

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) today won the prestigious 2015 National Gold Medal Award for excellence in Parks and Recreation Management. The Gold Medal is one of the highest professional awards available to parks and recreation agencies throughout the country and involves a stringent qualification and judging process. The Gold Medal Award is presented annually by the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA) in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).
