True. Most posters can't afford NWDC. The jealousy is so apparent.

LMAO! I live in McLean because it is OBVIOUSLY better. It's like comparing a beat up toyota truck from Afghanistan to a shiney, new BMW.

Mmmm, sorry no. The beat up toyota trucks are found in the driveways of McLean, VA. The new BMWs are found in Georgetown, Dupont, Capitol Hill, Chevy Chase DC, AU Park.... and I could go on. Wishful thinking has the poster confused and disoriented.

You clearly missed the issue of The Washingtonian (March? April?) that showed that the most expensive homes in the area were mostly in McLean. AU Park doesn't even begin to compare, and Capitol Hill is just laughable.

There are no proverbial beat up Toyotas in McLean--the average home price is $900k, and that won't buy you much.

Sorry. Wrong. McLean is... lame and a total yawn-fest.
Yes, comparing McLean to great neighborhoods in the district like AU Park, Chevy Chase, Capitol Hill, and Georgetown is, indeed, laughable. I have never heard of anyone wanting to go all the way over to McLean because there is nothing to see or enjoy..... but enjoy your traffic (you need to love traffic if you live out there!)

What are you 25 and single? If yes, then, sure Mclean sucks. Even if you are a married couple of advanced age without kids I would agree. I don't know what type of lifestyle you live now and how many nannies you have, so that you can enjoy the nightlife and the restaurant scene of a city. Mclean is a suburb, and that's that. How many exciting suburbs do you know? People go live there to raise families and to have amenities that are relevant to their kids, not to 20 somethings looking to party, or bored empty nesters.
As far as traffic is concerned, the reason why the housing is expensive there is because of the central location close to many employment centers and the city. My drive to work is 10 min and if I want to visit family in DC it's about 15-20 min drive. Since the density of housing around GW parkway is pretty low, we don't get much traffic going this way on the weekends or outside of rush hour. From my experience, there is way more traffic around Silver Spring and Tysons than it is around chain bridge road and GW pkwy and you don't have to take the Key bridge if you don't want to.

You must not have kids. Yes DC is great if you dont have kids or better yet are single. Once you have kids DC even the most affluent areas are not good for kids compared to bethesda, chevy chase, mclean and great falls. The main thing you want to protect your children from is violent crime and also the offspring of criminalas classmates. Try looking at the the crime heat maps for the most expensive neighborhoods in DC vs the subrban ones and you will see a great difference.

You truly are the village idiot. A poor one at that.

Oooh, good comeback! You sure nailed him or her with all of the facts in your rebuttal. Oh wait...

"nailed him or her"... please. it's so obvious that YOU'RE the only one defended mclean on this thread. you're just trying to make it seem like you're not alone in this debate. nice try. oh- and i actually liked the comeback.

I'm not the PP, Einstein, so I wasn't the one "defending McLean". In fact, I was a new poster and that was my first post in this thread, but nice try anyway.

Good God, don't you folks ever tire of the same ridiculous argument? OK, some people want to live in DC for whatever reason and some want to live in the suburbs for whatever reason. They both have pros and cons. Are you all that insecure that you need to convince people that your choice is the only one?
