[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The educated are long gone from DC. As well as anyone with any common sense. [/quote] Nah, we’re still here. And some of us are waiting for the complaining transplants to move to Virginia. Actually though, DC is a small expensive city, surrounded by suburbs, with quite a lot of space taken up by Federally controlled properties. It shouldn’t be a surprise that many people— especially those who moved to the area primarily for work — would live in the suburbs and exurbs. I know a lot of people whose first homes in DC as singles or couples were rental apartments— who then moved further out in search of houses that they could afford, especially when they had kids. It’s a pretty common pattern in areas with expensive cities and less expensive, more expansive suburban options. [/quote] It was nice while it lasted. Now there are some that want to urbanize the suburbs. I suppose that nice things can’t stay nice forever.[/quote]
