[quote=Anonymous][quote]Temporary transplant here - only living here for a year. I guess I expected this area to be a bit nicer being that this is one of the most wealthiest counties/areas in the US. I'm living in Fairfax and I am a bit stunned at how run down so many places in this area look. The traffic is terrible, I am shocked at the sheer amount of overhead power lines that look like they're going to fall down with a 10 mph wind gust (parts of FFX almost look like power lines you'd see in SE asia), neighborhoods that don't look well kept, shady strip malls, I could go on. Small houses on the market nearing a million dollars, town homes at 1.4million with a postage-stamp size yard. I'm currently living in an apartment my company pays for and it's $3600/month!

I get that the jobs are good out here (or they were before the new admin came in) but you get nothing for your money here. [b]It's so dense. [/b]You're not paying for the weather here, that's for sure. Is it just the jobs?

Density is the reason we have so many amenities and opportunities. In Fairfax you are close to the biggest university in Virginia, a whole lot of higher end stores and restaurants, great medical facilities, and the capital city with many museums, theaters, etc., etc. We have many historic areas and national parks (have you been to Great Falls, Shenandoah, or Prince William Forest yet?). There are tons of day trips you can take from here as well. You are in an apartment so of course it will feel denser. Get out and travel around the area.
