[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] There are many, many families of equal and possibly greater wealth than those who cluster into those ugly little houses in Friendship Heights in the Janney district. [/quote] sigh. you again. do you never leave your condo in the pretty, yet chopped-up, 1890s row home? Those houses that make you so sad are the rentals that people like me own. [b]We kept them [/b]when we sold at 31 and moved deeper into the neighborhoods. You're welcome[/quote] Exactly, thank you for making the point. Other than people who want to rent out their ugly little ratholes in upper NW so that they can live elsewhere, there's not a good reason to be in some of these neighborhoods. They are gross and the pretense that "the schools are good" is more of real estate shill than a reality.[/quote] Sorry I wasn't more clear: I, the PP, live in the same neighborhood where I also rent out a smaller home, a few blocks in from the FH heights metro. When you drive to my neighborhood to shop at TJ Maxx and DSW, you are too cheap to pay for parking in the garage, so you park on the street (Jenifer) where I own a rental home. Then you apparently get upset. I don't understand why other people's modestly-scaled property makes you so spitting angry? What does this have to do with public schools? [/quote] She's bitter because she tried to take over the PTA in her 99% FARMS IB school (which she thinks she should be able to "use" because she paid 900k for her rowhouse) and the school is not immediately falling in line with her plans for "enrichment".[/quote]
