Culturally people like to live around some people like themselves to share common interests, even in a neighborhoods with some diversity. Also people like/need to have people around them that speak their language, especially if a neighborhood emergency arises.
More bus public transportation, be careful what you wish for. Areas of the county with service after midnight and weekends, Route 1, Lincolnia, Bailey's Crossroads/Culmore, central Annandale, Springfield/Backlick Road north of mall, with moderate income housing, neighborhood safety issues. Higher percentage of people in these areas who commit crimes, but also still some (not a lot) good people in these areas. Confirmed by friend in national law enforcement, more transit outside of rush hours in area, prices/rents go up or neighborhood quality/safety goes down.
