I found the article entirely consistent with Chris' usual fare. NW DC would have been a bizarre juxtaposition. Even the parts of DC he walked for this article stand out for how walkable they are compared to other maligned locales he has visited.

There’s nothing “bizarre” about comparing one part of a city to another, especially when the author themself describes NW DC as a bubble for the elite. They could have backed those claims up by walking through those neighborhoods as well, but they jump over to Virginia instead.

I’m sorry to tell you the author’s “usual fare” does not impress me as nuanced or insightful.
