[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are white (Middle Eastern) and while it's not nice to live in an area with a stigma, in the end we are laughing all the way to the bank- we are saving tons of money, can afford luxuries, etc.  [b]We are living the upper-middle class existence the rest of the country gets to enjoy, and we get the amenities of the DC area[/b].  Really, anyone who doesn't live in PG is kind of paying a "black people tax" because that's the only reason I can see for our house being so much cheaper than comparable ones in Moco.[/quote]

So much this! I hate the stigma of living here, but we are also laughing all the way to the bank. We live in a lovely, safe neighborhood with wonderful neighbors of all ethnic and racial backgrounds. Our mortgage is 1/3 of similar families around the DC area for the same house, with a shorter commute.

[b]I'm so torn. I want everyone to know PG isn't the cesspool that people believe it is, but at the same time I don't want people to start moving here and turning it into the same old strip mall world of NoVA. [/b][/quote]

My goal:  buy a house for my parents to retire in and maybe an investment property, then hope people discover PG!  I don't think it will ever turn into strip mall city a la NOVA, just because there aren't as many physical stores and businesses needed anymore, thanks internet.[/quote]
