Where are your DCs in school?

year right, maybe in a condo

Nope. 3000 square foot house. We bought a smaller house in the same area in 2001, then traded up. We're west of Route 7. There are lots of houses in the Shreve Road area that are in the 600's.

Is this a joke?

Anyway, a lot of us live in condos in central neighborhoods with our school age kids. Many more live in the 'burbs because Federal servants are a large and diverse group with no shortage of both hicks at heart and irrational elbow room addicts who can't purchase it anywhere near civilization on their modest incomes.

Gee . . . what words come to mind when I read your post . . . condescending? arrogant? unpleasant? prejudiced? narrow-minded? Actually, all of them! Hope you're not representative of your neighborhood!

Know a bunch who live in Rockville. But all have lived there for a LONG time (as in 20+ years).

Wouldn't two mid-level Feds combined make a nice enough salary to live in many different places in the area depending on their housing preferences? I would toss out Silver Spring and Arlington as likely haunts.

Us too!
