Thank you for this letter. My husband and I seem to have had an identical experience to yours. We moved to downtown Silver Spring this past July, and our quality of life has never been better. Our car now just sits in our apartment garage, only to be taken out for the occasional trip to Target or Trader Joe's. It's actually incredibly liberating to live such a car-free lifestyle - I couldn't even tell you how much gas prices are right now, because I don't remember the last time we had to go to a gas station.

I've found that most people who bash downtown Silver Spring have never actually been here - not in the last couple of years, anyway. I'm always getting comments - "Oh, you live out THERE." Out where?! My apartment is a whole FIVE BLOCKS from the DC border, and I probably live in a more complete, urban neighborhood than most people in the District.
