Very few people, if any, are commuting from here to DC. Clearly this thread is about DC suburbs. Besides, Gibson Island is a second home destination with few year-round residents. Roland Park is part of Baltimore and has declined a lot over the past few decades (in terms of both wealth and prestige), and is quite clearly not a DC suburb. Davidsonville is a suburb of Annapolis and is largely trashy exurbs. Clarksville, aside from horse farms, is not even in the discussion, and is not a suburb of DC in any real way. Annapolis is nice but not a DC suburb, and is only prestigious if you are on the deep water or in the historic downtown, and then is not really all that prestigious. Severna Park is the North Bethesda of Annapolis. I mean, the whole discussion is stupid, but this is even stupider. |

| Guess what? You are all middle class strivers as you all work. You know nothing about 1%’ers and never will. Keep striving and stressing out over where to live. |

Speak for yourself. I got 6 mill across retirement and brokerage accounts, a house in Rockville with a metal roof, new water heater (and new heater, if you know what I mean). Nobody can mess with me. I draw 200k a year and don’t need to work |

Do it, nobody is stopping you! Just showing the crowd that even in “tier 2” Rockville, one lives extremely well. I don’t have a 100 year old Craftsman in Bethesda to impress others. But I got financial security and quality of life, that’s for sure. I’m able to draw more money than 98% of households get in a year by working |

Way too many Anne Arundel County spots on here. Odenton? Gambrills? Come on now. |

Saying that North Bethesda is Severna Park is laughable. Severna Park is real prestige and old money. North Bethesda is just Rockville a cluster of chains, townhomes, and cookie cutter NVHomes on a crowded highway while trying to be pretentious. North Bethesda is just a more expensive version of Crofton or Odenton. Severna Park is closer to Chevy Chase if anything. |

And what’s wrong with that? Odenton and Gambrills are both upper-middle-class suburbs with good schools. They are absolutely comparable to places in their “tier.” In fact, Odenton/Gambrills have better schools than almost every other town in their “tier” (sorry Blair, even people all the way out here are highly aware that your school is garbage and that magnet kids from Bethesda push up the rankings). |

| People in this thread seem to forget that Maryland is larger than the DC burbs. Nothing in the original post told anyone to limit to DC burbs. |

| Annapolis is not part of the DMV. I don’t care about your 1700s town and your social climbing. I care about my post war suburb and the social climbing therein |

Odenton/Gambrills are Clarksburg/Damascus, be serious |
