[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP can afford 5 million, she can definitely afford CHDS and a nice place on East Capitol. I would not count the ability to walk to a Trader Joes or the outside mall that is now Clarendon a "walkable neighborhood" -- pretty generic and lame and surrounded by a lot of really busy roads.[/quote]

You are smoking crack.  There are 70 restaurants in a short strip.  There is retail.  There is Cap bike share. There are tons of independent places--fat Shortys, java shack, Northside social, etc.  there is a Metro station every few blocks.  There are parks and schools walking distance.  The last 2 years saw a huge revival. This is not the same place circa 2001 when it was just Market Common and Cheesecake.  [/quote]

PP here, no pipe in hand. Just out to Clarendon last week and I stand by my opinion that it has the atmosphere of an outdoor mall with a lot of generic stores. There aren't enough independents to overcome this. And the [b]traffic on Wilson and Clarendon isn't pedestrian-friendly[/b]. [/quote]

Well, there are 12 foot sidewalks along Wilson and Clarendon on both sides, along the entire corridor. The speed limit is 25 mph, and there are tons of traffic lights. Is it ideal? No, but better than in Georgetown.[/quote]
