Why…would you say something so ignorant and wrong.

Seems very low to me. We are spending $350K for a (high quality) reno of our kitchen and bathroom and conversion of attic to master bedroom suite. Not even a full gut. I would be wary.

Metro next time. You are the traffic.

Yes, was going to say, the ones in DC have particular historical significance.

You are missing a beautiful, special experience TBH. Give it a try some time when there aren’t a ton of people there, it’s great.

Uptown is cool on the DL now. Come to Jackie Lee’s, Anxo, and La Coop!

Honestly, if you have to ask Reddit, it’s probably not for you.

Edited to add: I lived in Trinidad in 2008-2009, my first year living in DC after college. I am white woman and loved it for a lot of reasons, didn’t love it for some other reasons. I also grew up in a 60%+ Black rural county, so that factored into my comfort level with living there. Before deciding for sure, I spent a couple of days walking around the neighborhood both during the day and at night to get a sense of it and see how people reacted to me being there. I would suggest you do something similar if you are considering neighborhoods you aren’t sure you’re going to be inherently comfortable in.

“”simp so hard for pavement” is fantastic.

My partner and I have the season passes (best deal ever!) so we are there a lot. You’re not wrong about the service. Folks are always friendly but stuff takes FOREVER. Compared to the one we go to pretty often when we’re in Raleigh, it doesn’t really compare.
