[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ashburn is for first generation middle class people. Lots of families where the owners/parents were only the first generation to graduate from a four year college (junior college and community college do to count).  Arlington is for people who grew up in families with comfortable lifestyles and where education was a primary focus (several generations of middle middle and upper middle class).  That is the real difference. The different choices in housing styles and lifestyles is totally [b]contributable [/b]to SES class.  I bet if a survey was done of homeowner's own education levels and the education levels of their parents and grandparents this fact would be glaringly obvious.  [/quote]

Contributable? Did you mean to say "attributable"?  I thought education was a priority for the Arlington dwellers?

The rest of your post is wishful thinking. A generation ago none of Arlington was considered fabulous; none of it was associated with any real money or the educated class.

People make housing decision based on their family's priorities: commute, schools, money.    If Ashburn ticks all three, then Ashburn it is.  If Arlington does, it's Arlington.  There are people out there for whom living in Arlington makes zero sense.
