[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on what you mean by “nicer.”  Are you equating it with “wealthier?“

For example, a previous poster from 22207 says that that area was not “nicer“ 20 years ago. Actually, we were in the thick of raising kids there 20 years ago and from what I read on DCUM now I would argue that it was, in fact, “nicer” then.  It was more affordable, the schools were smaller and less crowded, and the people generally seemed a lot nicer.   We still live in the area and on occasion find ourselves in 22207, and the only thing different that we say about it now is that the smaller houses have been replaced with McMansions and I don’t think that makes it a “nicer” neighborhood.  It just makes it a less affordable one.

Spoken like a true middle classer who would probably complain about their increased property taxes. I’d much rather have a $3m house in my neighborhood than the $500k teardowns that were there 20years ago. [/quote]

So you’re confirming you’re one of the elitists who don’t feel like middle class families deserve to live in decent neighborhoods. You also are confirming you’re one of the people who doesn’t believe in cohesiveness or charm within neighborhoods. Putting up the $3 million huge homes among houses in a more modest neighborhood changes the entire dynamic and not in a positive way. [/quote]

You realize your nitwit argument works both ways, right? Why are you too good for a regular working class or middle class neighborhood? Why do you need to be in a ritzy neighborhood amongst multi-million dollar new builds? Because you’re a shallow elitist without the bank account to back it up.[/quote]

+1. The browbeating is hilarious. You’re classist and pretentious for… not wanting my social climbing broke ass family in your neighborhood![/quote]
