[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised to look at its Wikipedia page. I grew up in McLean and went to Langley. It was a quiet boring town with not very friendly neighbors. As for the wealth...most of the places in Fairfax county have wealth and there is no shortage of multimillion dollar homes in the area. Also[b] most of its residents are elderly or empty nesters.[/b] I recall us being one of the few families with kids our age in our neighborhood.[/quote]

I marvel mat this, because no matter how many decades my friends have lived in McLean - [b]it seems it is ALWAYS old people.[/b][b]  It that even possible?

Recently there are more families in the $2m+ homes. So odd. [/quote]

So true. I call the Giant the Geriatric Giant.[/quote]

I have lived here for several years. From what my neighbors tell me, originally it was more of a place for families (1960's) but now the prices have increased so much that many residents are the older people who have owned their homes for decades. When they leave, the homes are torn down and replaced with the $2 million places. Even so, young families are increasing in McLean. The contingent of older people controls most of the civic decisions like the revitalization of downtown, and they don't want increased traffic or more amenities for young families. [/quote]
