The bright-eyed clueless young Clintonistas thought they were too cool for Georgetown — and proceeded to invade — and ruin— the cool places in Adams Morgan.

Even if this is true and you’re not trolling—it was tourists who don’t know any better

Yes, because we, the residents, drive to VA malls to buy stuff.

I know it has this and that and blah blah blah, but there’s something so creepy about it. It’s like a great-on-paper boyfriend but you keep having dreams that he’s an axe murderer. And yesterday he brought home an axe so he could “chop wood.”

Or like you got adopted and you told your new parents you like Disney and they got an Ariel to come for your birthday but now she’s just sitting in your living room not leaving and she seems afraid and you’re not sure if she’s a slave or what.

Anyway I have a lot of feelings about the Navy Yard.

It's a bizarre and inorganic neighborhood. Nothing feels natural about it; it's the type of place where you Uber in and out of your destination within the neighborhood. The super-sized streetscape does not feel designed for walking humans. It also doesn't help that the neighborhood is cut-off from humanity by highways and office buildings. And the Navy Yard is much better than the Wharf, which is so isolated. It's for people who don't want to leave their bubble of luxury apartment building-Uber-office-Uber-Soul Cycle-Uber-Home.

Georgetown, and even the revitalized portions of 14th Street, grew organically as human-sized, walkable neighborhoods. You can feel it.
