You don’t like the higher taxes — but you’d like “building good middle and high schools “ to be a priority. Yes, that is, indeed, a tall order.

You’re “in a biracial marriage “ but apparently don’t think it’s important to mention the race and ethnicity of you and your spouse when asking for suggestions re: “diverse” places to live. That’s….interesting. Somehow you haven’t noticed that just being “diverse” isn’t always safe or comfortable for everyone in the same ways?

I hope you’re trolling.

Cool story.

Everyone leans left until they get mugged for their iPhone on their own block. I live on Capitol Hill. You probably live in Arlington and have a ton of lawn signs and know Jack sht about dc, its city council, weak on crime, catch and release policies, letting atvs joy ride and smash in to other people…anyway you have no clue. Like I said I’m social liberal to a point, but crime is the deal breaker. Sorry you’re too woke to see that not arresting criminals is good policy.


I've lived in Columbia Heights for 10 years and DC overall for 14. I'd live anywhere else than Crapitol Hill.

Just move to any suburb & you'll be fine.




Pretty much. Love self described "moderates" who pretend to be above it all but really lean right and support this nonsense.

A moderate today is kind of like an ultra-conservative of the 70s since conservatives in the 70s are like today's progressives.

You sound like a troll OP.

If you want people to accept your biracial marriage you will need to be in a place that is at least partially "woke."

Find a place with lots of signs that say "all are welcome here."
