In a recent post, we noted that Thrillist had chosen Capitol Hill as one of America’s ten most beautiful neighborhoods.
Plenty of readers agreed with this designation.
However, a surprising number of them had negative things to say about the area.
Here are a selection of responses representing both points of view.

I lived in Capital Hill for 30 years…well deserved!!!! The homes are beautiful and eclectic!!!! The vibe lively and diverse…. Just saying…I loved it!!!
David Jim writes:
Not sure if Cap Hill deserves to be on the list. Only scattered fractions are nice and unique, not the entire neighborhood as a whole. Some parts are trashy and def. not well kept.
Lyn Wheaton writes:
Yes! Finally we get some recognition here in Cap Hill, (for something good.) I love it!
Lisa Ray writes:
Yes, the bums and trash everywhere really deserve an award.
