[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL you think people move because they're concerned about rigor in schools?

What a clown you are.

This is NOT a way normal people think.[/quote]

This. It’s because you can get a tear down in Arlignton for $1m or a mansion in ashburn with all of their Va tech friends. Easy choice. Arlington is becoming like
Nyc. Rich and poor that’s it. [/quote]

[b]Arlington has ALWAYS been way more expensive than Ashburn[/b]. Something else has changed.  Could be telework increase, but schools could be a factor. But maybe with fewer families overcrowding should ease. [/quote]

But there comes a tipping point when that high cost is just prohibitive and/or no longer worth it.[/quote]

+1 My kids are in college now. Arlington use to be the place where you could spend the same amount for a SFH as you would in Ashburn and it certainly wouldn't be as nice but it would be a decent, livable middle class house and the benefit was a short commute to work, good county services, and a district with small class sizes. Now that tier of SFH's is gone, fewer are commuting every day, and the advantage of class size seems to be gone. I see the new THs being developed through EHO and think that would mainly benefit people like me -- DH and I are empty nesters with strong ties in our community but would like to downsize in a few years, mostly to get rid of a lot of yard maintenance and the old-house issues. A new-build duplex in our neighborhood would be great. And then a developer will likely tear down our SFH and put up a 2M+ SFH (it's a small lot probably not a good option for MM housing)[/quote]
