Because the picture of the house does not look in any way close to the million dollar houses I've seen. Her house looks like the houses in my Woodbridge neighborhood.

Because you live in Woodbridge. She lives in Manhassett which is more expensive than Bethesda.

The HBO producer actually is black (half-black, half-Jewish).

TIL that "Jewish" is a race

It's an ethno-religious group. Not too hard to understand....

It's called sarcasm FYI... Judaism is a religion, not a race.

You can't be "half black/half jewish"...maybe half black/half white or half black/half native american etc. If a black man came up to me and said he was half black/half christian I would give him funny look, you are 100% christian (presumably). There are, after all, black jewish people. As far as I understand from the little I know of judaism, there is no real concept of race. A "we are all human" sort of thing. Which is ironic because the black jewish community that is living in Israel has to deal with discrimination.

Of course, I realize that, but I am responding to the above poster who criticized someone for calling it a "middling" house. For most people, the house looks like a typical suburban house.

And Woodbridge is in Prince William County, not Bethesda.

Why are they renting? Seems completely stupid. They have been married for 6 years, out of med school for at least 10 years, and have 3 small kids. Two successful doctors should be settled in a purchased home at that stage in life, if solely for the kids' stability.

I would expect them to be pulling in $1mn HHI combined at this point in their careers. Dermatology is one of the most competitive specialties and highly compensated. Why are you renting a middling suburban house? Something doesn't add up.

It's NY. Renting is very common.

In NYC, not the suburbs.

I thought I read that they only pretty recently moved to Manhasset. maybe they were renting while looking to buy?
Or maybe saving more $ to buy bc of med school debt and expenses associated with three small kids.
Or maybe spending all the extra $ on blow.
Who knows.

Those poor children.

Really? This says long island is one of the places where renting is cheaper than buying.

Yep. And you haven't seen property taxes till you've been to Nassau County.

No, some Jews definitely consider it a race as well as a religion.

Nope. And you're obviously not from NY or a place with a lot of Jews, b/c if you were you'd hear a lot of people refer to themselves as half-jewish.

Like me!

True, my dad's house in a town neighboring Manhasset were around $20K a year.
