[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Essentially the free market will give you the answer. Look at what you get for your money in Potomac vs Bethesda. You'll get more land and a bigger house for the same money in Potomac vs Bethesda. The reason is that people prefer to live closer in, and will pay a premium (or live in a smaller property) to do so.[/quote]

Not 100 percent true as a lot of my neighbors are from Bethesda and DC who moved to Potomac, it is true that you get a larger home in Potomac than Bethesda for same price. But very few small homes in Bethesda.

And also living closer in for a someone with a Trad Wife they dont want that. When I was house hunting in 2017 my Trad Wife and kids being in crowded noisy Bethesda near metro with traffic and noise and neighbors on top of you did not appeal to them at all. Why? They dont commute. So metro meaningless.

And close in it is great for Dual Income Couples both work in DC and both take train. I dont know a single person in Potomac who takes Metro to work The few who work do got Capital One or Freddie Mac or Navy Federal but Potomac is closer to American Legion Bridge so quicker.              [/quote]

The free market doesn't care about your anecdotal evidence. Yes, individuals have preferences and will chose one place over another, but people overall -- the free market -- has spoken. Most people prefer Bethesda to Potomac, as shown by their willingness to pay for one option versus the other.
