[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in IT and we made this calculation when we moved to NoVa from DC 10 years ago. My spouse works in DC and we could have gone to VA or MD - but we knew my future opportunities would be in VA.

There is a lot to like about MD. It’s a better fit for us politically and it’s closer to visit family, but work commute and opportunities were more important. [/quote]

10 years ago, that calculation made sense for IT professionals. The calculation is different in today’s world where most IT jobs are remote. I work in IT and was living in VA (Dulles Corridor). Since we are working remotely, we moved to MD for a better quality of life.[/quote]
This. After the pandemic and being able to work remotely, we also moved to MD. I work in IT too.[/quote]

So you are in both tech support and couldn't afford to live in Virginia.  [/quote]
I see that reading comprehension is not your forte. 
See, we both used to live in VA, so we could definitely afford it. We just wanted a better quality of life and live far away from  idiots like you.[/quote]

You could afford what you used to live in but not want you wanted to live in.  Had to go to Maryland to find low costs alternatives.  [/quote]
I had to go to Maryland for a better life. Many people are forced to live in VA because of their jobs and not because it's a good place to live.[/quote]
