@Rich, 'The Capitol and Union Station create an awkward barrier in terms of downtown transit, along with the routing of the Blue/Orange line. Getting from "inner Northwest" to the eastern inner city is often awkward. It seems to take forever to get from Logan Circle to Eastern Market, although the distance is only a little further than Columbia Heights or Georgetown, and about the same distance as Adams-Morgan, all of which are easy to reach by bus. H Street access will only be partly helped by the streetcar. The 90s which do connect Adams Morgan and U St with capitol Hill are under-utilized and probably not known to middle class residents other than Hill staffers.

Get a car. You'll find that the 'barriers' you describe are self inflicted barriers created by some mass transit bureaucrat who 'thought' that was what people wanted ... maybe 20 or 30 or more years ago. Fortunately our road system in the District generally is far more flexible.
