[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are not white and left for Fairfax when our kids were young.  We never felt included in Arlington.[/quote]

Meh, I am as white as they come — 98% Swiss and German according to 23 and Me — and I never felt so included in 22207.

I think people interpret generalized anxiety as snobbishness, however. IME living in the Jamestown/Williamsburg/Yorktown pyramid, it’s heavily populated by people suffering from imposter syndrome. The putting on airs thing is a defense mechanism.[/quote]

As an anxious person I agree that people often interpret anxiety as snobbishness, however, there is really no reason that north Arlington should be suffering from more anxiety than south Arlington, where people drive a lot of old hondas. It's the money. [/quote]

Or the lack of money. Being up to your eyeballs in debt causes anxiety.[/quote]

Well that just proves my point more. If it was anxiety, perhaps it would be south Arlington that would be perceived as cold and snobbish since somebody in south Arlington is more likely than somebody in north Arlington to be hurting for cash. Let's not pretend that North Arlington is not a struggle for a lot of people because it has more than its fair share of snobs, and snobbishness is related to money. [/quote]
