[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not see the keeping up with the jones so much in Vienna. [/quote] When I read a post from someone who lives in an almost $1m house in one of the region's wealthiest suburbs claiming that they find the wealth in the slightly more affluent suburb next door "offputting," it tells me that they are probably comparing themselves to the Joneses of McLean. Same for the assertions about Vienna being "down to earth," which seems to imply a comparison to those potentially higher in the stratosphere. It's not like many people who live in Vienna are working the land or tilling the fields. Anyway, so what? It's all about finding one's comfort zone, which often means finding a place among those perceived to be similarly situated. Both are very nice areas. [/quote]
