[quote=Anonymous]The descriptions of TP are so funny. If you actually live there and are middle to upper middle class (and since OP's housing budget is $800k they are in this category) you'll find mostly 2 parent families (both gay and hetero) with 1-3 kids (some bio, some adopted, some adopted outside of the parent's race). Often one parent is more highly paid (maybe an attorney) which allows the other parent to be either stay at home or work a less demanding job from home or with flexible hours. But there are plenty families with 2 parents that work outside of the home (a lot of attorneys at non-profits or with gov, professors, scientists, communication professionals, people who work in international development and lots of other federal jobs). Everyone skews very liberal politically. Most kids attend local public school. A lot of nice, normal people who value the walkable community, the sense of Takoma Place with its own identity, yes the diversity (even with its challenges), the parks, the schools, the proximity to Metro. FWIW - I've lived in TP for 10 years and I know a lot of different families but I don't know anyone that is openly polyamorous (or that have shared that information with me).[/quote]
