[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Sure, there's diversity and people who emigrated from all over the world. And became rich and are materialistic and just as self absorbed as any white Westchester clique[/b]. They're all over DC. Is that what she is looking for?

Takoma Park is her tribe. Hie there there and be happy in your bubble.

OP here. This is exactly it!! It's not real diversity if everyone is rich and living the same lifestyle. I hear people in Westchester saying all the time, "It's so diverse here!" Because they have a friend from South America and a friend from former USSR and a friend from France and a friend from China...but they all work in finance or law or consulting and live the same materialistic, competitive lifestyle. I really hope to escape this BS.[/quote]

I mean, if that's the goal, you're coming to the wrong place.[/quote]

Takoma Park has enormous diversity. There is a ton of socioeconomic diversity, as well as racial and other diversity that cuts across class. Having said that, people are still pretty much segregated by class, less so by race. Silver Spring has some good options too, but it is more hit or miss by neighborhood.

What I think OP wants to avoid, based on her statements, is Chevy Chase, Bethesda, McLean, much of Arlington, Great Falls, and NW DC. Chevy Chase MD is the most like Westchester of all the towns around. I actually really like the vibe in CCMD, and I live in Takoma Park![/quote]
