[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years ago we moved to Columbia to be closer to my husband's job.
I hated it. Thankfully we were only renting.  We broke the lease after being there for 40 days. (Had to pay $$$$ for breaking lease) and then we moved back to Chevy Chase/Bethesda area.[/quote]
What was the problem? Columbia has many different areas with different flavors. It sounds like you didn't even give it a chance.[/quote]

Yeah, either PP moved without doing any research and ended up in an apartment in Steven's Forest, or they're just a snob, which is probably the case if they bailed for their beloved Chevy Chase after a month. [/quote]

NP here.  I currently live in PG County (and love where I live), so you can't accuse me of being a snob or a racist.  I really don't like Columbia.  I hate the layout.  I hate the traffic patterns.  For a planned community, it isn't designed well as far as traffic flow.

As one PP noted, it's hard to find a house within walking distance of a grocery store.  I live in the suburbs, so I'm not talking about urban walkability.  I'm just talking about not feeling like the residential areas are separated from the shopping areas by highways.  In my PG house, if needed, I can still walk to a grocery store, to a post office, to a few other shops and establishments.  It's not urban walkable.

Don't assume that the PP just hates Columbia because it is diverse.

And speaking of diverse, it seems to me that it's really the townhome communities that are diverse.  The SFH neighborhoods don't seem that diverse.  Just my opinion.  [/quote]

Fine, then the PP is just a dumbass to move and sign a lease without googling where the grocery store was or the town she would be living in. [/quote]
