[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if you are offended why are living there? By fact of living in an “upscale DMV neighborhood” you are part of the same human drive of striving and wealth accumulation.

This is the point of striving - getting an education, getting a high paying job, accumulating property - so that you can make life easier for your kids and pass on wealth/property. [/quote]

This. We're doing all this for our kids. An "upscale DMV neighborhood" isn't the place for OP if she wants to avoid this.[/quote]

OP here:
We picked a neighborhood with a relatively short'ish commute to our offices and "good enough" school pyramid. Lived here for many years and wasn't until our kid was in school that we realized how prevalent this trend is in our area. This is not neighborhood specific, as we've encountered it across neighborhoods inside-the-Beltway.

Like a poster previously said, my post was more about the illusion of affordability. It was not a complaint about "fairness." Notice I never said anything about the world being unfair in my original post. Instead, a bunch of hyper-ventilating defensive DCUM posters who clearly had a few legs up in life put words in my mouth. [/quote]
