I agree with Pam on Urban Turf! It is a great read and resource!

This post has nothing to do with the reader's poll. I'm making the decision. I just wanted to collect input, see what kind of comments turned up, and see if I missed any great real estate/development blogs. And though I'm very excited to see what the reader's poll turns out, it's not as if that's a particularly clean and straightforward process. Plenty of businesses are campaigning heavily to get their votes up. And one site even contacted us recently about setting up a widget to directly link to us and add a vote for them. (That's not something we could assist with.) So if you want something to win, you gotta work for it! That's the internet age for you.

Do you think you could have waited on this article until AFTER voting ended before putting in your two cents worth? Seems like the vote counter may skew the vote.

Love UrbanTurf. I think their mix of original content about neighborhoods and condos, and the new blog feature make it one of the best in DC.

My opinion of Alpert is based solely on the quality of his blog. Never met the guy. I expect someone who writes daily about a topic to be able to do more than "get the fundamental concepts." YMMV.

What does your opinion of David Alpert have to do with the quality of the blogs? Also, how's he a know-nothing? He gets the fundamental concepts of urban design.

DCMud over Greater Greater Washington. Alpert is an arrogant know-nothing. By contrast, DCMud covers stuff you don't see elsewhere. They aren't 100% accurate (then again, they're not doing any worse than the Post or the City Paper), but they're worth reading.

Tie between Greater Greater Washington and DCMUD.
