People can’t be happy. They say they want walkability…

Route 1 no longer has street walkers. Most of the time.

He wants proximity with the “wealthy”.

Del Ray, old town, 22308 / 22307, parts of south arlington


Old Town? Perhaps a couple streets. South Arlington is as dumpy as its ever been.

Del Ray was nice when I moved here 25 years ago. I should know, I lived there 15 years.

Springfield covers a lot of territory, OP. Some neighborhoods are to be avoided and some are quite nice. Just like most places.

I don't think this is true. I was in Annandale and Falls Church recently. They were not desirable areas 25 years ago, and the areas I was in were fairly nice. People still don't use public schools as much though.

Permanent bootyhole. The rich areas keep getting more desirable, and the poor areas keep getting more undesirable.
