Best place to live for unabashed moderates?

[Anonymous]

Anywhere in Alexandria or Fairfax that is heavily military. The combination of more conservative families and more liberals locals leads to a lack of politics in everyday conversations

Any rich suburb should do.

Lots of more moderate areas in the upper half of Montgomery County - but not great if you still need to commute to DC.

Just move to any suburb & you'll be fine.

Pretty much. Love self described "moderates" who pretend to be above it all but really lean right and support this nonsense.

I am a registered Democrat in NYC and I feel pretty much exactly as the OP.

You don’t like the higher taxes — but you’d like “building good middle and high schools “ to be a priority. Yes, that is, indeed, a tall order.

You’re “in a biracial marriage “ but apparently don’t think it’s important to mention the race and ethnicity of you and your spouse when asking for suggestions re: “diverse” places to live. That’s….interesting. Somehow you haven’t noticed that just being “diverse” isn’t always safe or comfortable for everyone in the same ways?

I hope you’re trolling.

You do know a lot of Proud Boys are married to black women and their leader is a Latino POC right? Being woke doesn’t always track with being in an interracial relationship.

Enrique Tarrio was charged related to Jan 6. He’s the leader of the Proud Boys. Not a white guy. Another leader of the Proud Boys who was also arrested for Jan 6 is a white guy with a black wife. His name is Nicholas Ochs. Weird flex to brag about your ignorance, no? The January 6 hearings are a big deal to some.

This. You can move to any of the NOVA suburbs and be just fine. We are sort of like you. Immigrant DH. Moderate liberals. Hate the uber progressive side but would never vote conservative because, well, they're loons. We live in FFX. Lots of like minded folks here. Safe neighborhoods. Good schools. It's pretty normal.

If you want people to accept your biracial marriage you will need to be in a place that is at least partially "woke."

I’m from a little podunk town 270 miles down I-81 in far southwestern Virginia.

Even there, no one gives a hoot about your biracial marriage. This isn’t 1974.

Similar to this, I was going to say Burke/Fairfax. Didn’t read your op closely, but catholic if you need schools. Die-hard moderate and I have friends on the left and the right here.

Catholic if you need schools? We're in MoCo. All the right wing nutjobs are Catholic.

And a lot of people who hate Catholics are Klan members, so…

Not in DC, the moderates are poor.
