The benefit of DC and the DC area, especially for those of us that grew up in the Carmels of the world is the wealth of opportunity right at your door in terms of diversity, history, educational and other opportunities. Everyone in Carmel went to the same colleges, have the same friends as when they were kids, put their kids in the same organizations that they were in, and generally sit around and talk about how great it all is. And if that is great for you, then wonderful! You've found your place.

The DC area certainly has its drawbacks, but people aren't trained to believe it's superior. It IS superior in so many measurable respects if your goal is to live in a place with more going on then Carmel, IN for your whole life. And there's nothing wrong with that.

I've grown very wealthy in the DC area with diversity, elite, travelled the world, for 30 years and think Carmel looks much better. I am considering leaving the DC area for some place like this for my tweens cause the DC area has slid so much .

Carjackings
Muggings
Gang violence
Homeless encampments
Shootings

Yeah, so much opportunities for being a victim of crime in coastal elitists garbage dumps. A true sign that you live in a place with 'culture' is when you have to dodge piles of human dookie on the street and strung out drug addicts on your way to purchasing you $9 craft latte in the morning.

Public schools are all 10 and the student body looks respectful and polite
Makes our McLean area and school look like trash despite it being 2x more. We live in a. 4m home.

Even the 675k homes looks amazing

You just described literally half of the DC area. What is your point?

I know you struggle with facts, but half of the DC area isn’t MAGA.

FCPS busses some kids over 12 miles to Langley HS. The kids live in Great Falls near the border with Loudoun County and Langley is in eastern Fairfax just a couple miles from Arlington.

My brother used to live there. I found the surrounding area to be a bit downtrodden and depressing. However, the huge, authentic, older home were AMAZING and the prices were insanely low.

Out of curiosity, any Jewish families there? Would they feel ostracized?
