[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This argument about which neighborhoods qualify as city-living is dumb.  Who cares whether someone else prefers a more or less dense neighborhood?  There is no moral superiority flowing from a particular choice.[/quote]

It's only dumb when posters from Upper NW insist that their neighborhoods aren't suburban.  They're no different than Arlington or Bethesda.

A couple years ago a friend married a woman from outside the area who had a couple of elementary school-aged kids.  They asked for advice on DCPS.  We made a number of suggestions.  They listened politely.  My spouse laughed when we got home and said "who are they trying to kid?  They won't be staying downtown -- they're gonna buy something in the Janney district."  Which is exactly what they did.  And they're the first to admit that they moved to the suburbs.   [/quote]

No, it's only dumb when you insist on judging people for their housing choices.  And telling people who objectively live in a city that they live in a suburb.[/quote]
