[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, where do you commute from? Commuting time should probably be #1 on your list of priorities if you are genuinely indifferent between MD and VA. Also, I wouldn’t dismiss the MD/VA debate so casually because in the DMV your political leanings can create community and/or make you feel like a fish out of water. This is a very political region (for obvious reasons) so if you lean left or right at all, the MD/VA debate is relevant.

I agree with PP that your worry of being shut out of long-established networks is not likely to happen except in the most exclusive/expensive neighborhoods (think $5m+ homes on big lots far from one another) where there isn’t much community vibe anyway. You don’t need to worry about that at all in Chevy Chase, DC, for example. Most people are from somewhere else. Truly multigenerational DMV natives are in the minority. [/quote]

OP here.  We work mostly from home and have to go to NYC about 2x a month so being somewhat close to the Amtrak is helpful.  Like having some walkability like everyone else somewhat but it's really about having a community.  
Yeah yeah political leanings blah blah- DC people are easy to play that way- it becomes easy to figure out which way they lean and then talk that up.  Everyone here is so emotionally charged about it.  Don't really care-it's all about positioning yourself to make $ off the current environment ;)[/quote]
