I am not a PG county resident, but I read your threads for insight just in case DH convinces me.  My DH has been trying to get me to move into the county for four years.  His argumen tis that we could get a really beautiful house and room for his own personal man-cave for a lot less money.  However, my counter argument to him is what I bolded in your statement.  Any money saved on a beautiful home would be spent on private education.  Too much hassle.  So, we stay in our little house in the city and send our kid to a great charter school and pay DC taxes on our 240k HHI.  It's not as high as many people on DCUM, but it isn't chomp change either.

I think for some people, though, the math still makes PG a better deal, as in the cost of private + housing is still a lot less than the cost of housing in MOCO, for example.  But even then, I think people get scared away by the stigma, which is ridiculous, because personally, I love my neighborhood in PG.

Sometimes I think perhaps PG is just too big.  It might make more sense to break it up, but I'm sure this would be met with resistance for a number of reasons.
