[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:02 - I guess I beg to differ.

[b]I bet if you really have to, you could sell your house and get a rental TH that feeds to one of the W schools.[/b] But that's so far-fetched, you won't even consider that as one of the choices. The way I see it, you made your "choice" - you decided what you have to give up is not worth what you may or may not be gaining.

I wouldn't move either. Just trying to point out we all have more choices than we are willing to acknowledge. [/quote]

Let's look at the numbers. The median gross household income in Montgomery County is about $100,000. One-third of $100,000 is $33,333. $33,333 a year is $2,778 a month in rent. And half of households in Montgomery County have incomes lower than the median.

We may all have more choices than we are willing to acknowledge, but some of us have more more choices than others of us. To deny that there are lots of people who cannot afford to live in Bethesda or Potomac, no matter what they do, is to deny reality.[/quote]
