[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Also fewer people will want to buy in areas like Bethesda since there are so many more interesting choices these days than there were a decade or two ago.[/quote]

I wouldn't go this far. The areas in Montgomery County are incredibly similar. DTSS is just like Rockville or Crown in Gaithersburg or even Bethesda and all the other places building little faux downtown areas. All variations on the same type of restaurants and shops, parking garages, farmers market ...rinse repeat, rinse repeat. The areas are just not that different or unique outside the level of crime and school quality which do vary widely. [/quote]

I think of it like this. When I was young the only places that were safe and interesting we're largely around Georgetown or DuPoint. Decades later places like Logan, Shaw, and even Petworth seem like better choices. If the metro area had a center of mass, it would have shifted eastward over the past two decades. Perhaps, it's hard for people to see this when they're in the middle of it, but it is, in fact, happening even in moco. With the skyrocketing costs of real estate, people are looking for better values and this often makes areas that you wouldn't have considered a decade ago a viable choice.[/quote]
