[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This area is massively overpriced compared to the value of living here.  Close to jobs?  Sure.  Although the current gutting of the Federal government makes that upside less appealing.

Otherwise, paying over a million dollars to live in a falling down dump in an overcrowded swamp full of extremely unpleasant, competitive strivers?  No thanks!  I’d rather rent![/quote]

People who post like this have serious skill issues. The DC area is massive and has many different neighborhoods, amenities, cultures, geographic differences. If you hate it so much it's probably a you thing.[/quote]

Case in point of one of the unpleasant DC area denizens.

Nobody dreams of retiring to DC.  The weather sucks, the soil sucks, and the neighbors are self-important tools.[/quote]

This entire board is full of people complaining that retirees won't sell their homes here. So are there too many retirees or not enough?

The soil sucks?

Honestly no one is more self important than the person who chimes into someone asking about their preferred location and home price with ewwww why would you want to do that? You clearly think your opinion is the most important.

Also absolutely nobody is jonesing to retire in Philly, PP's example of a different place to live, but that doesn't make it a bad place to live.[/quote]

Yes, the soil sucks.  Why do you think the early settlers had to turn to tobacco?

I think my opinion is clearly more important than anyone who thinks spending over a million bucks for some dump in the DMV is a swell idea.  Because that’s just a stupid waste of money.[/quote]

People really go onto this website and say the absolute weirdest things. Colonizers not being skilled at tending the land three hundred years ago and forcing European crops onto totally different geography might be wildest reason I've seen for anyone not wanting to retire somewhere.[/quote]

Wow, you’re embarrassing yourself with this assessment.  There’s a reason Virginia isn’t considered the breadbasket of America…[/quote]

As a born and bred Midwesterner, who geeks about retiring to the Midwest/Great Plains (America's bread basket)? I'm legitimately confused is DC a bad place to retire to because of the weather or the lack of wheat? Because you aren't retiring to Nebraska for the fun in the sun.[/quote]
