Who actually respects or admires McLean?

McLean is not a city. McLean is a just a hodgepodge collection of wealthy neighborhoods in Fairfax County with a few unimpressive shopping plazas and office buildings that constitute a car-centric "downtown."[/quote]
 That is part of its appeal. McLean does not want more traffic and more shopping.  It has a hometown feel without being commercialized.  It's admired and respected for that.  Tons of folks put McLean in a high status.  Why do you think people are clamoring to move there?[/quote]

For every high-income earner clamoring to live in McLean, there are at least 10 others looking elsewhere.[/quote]
Link?[/quote]

NP but this is obviously true - McLean is not that big.[/quote]

DP, but it's a meaningless statement to begin with. [/quote]

OMG, you people need to lighten up and laugh a bit.[/quote]

I think that's the main reason why people rag on McLean. The boosters take themselves (and McLean) WAY too seriously.

Lighten up, Francis. It's just another boring DC suburb.

So, so much envy on display.  LOL.[/quote]

^^ case in point

:lol:

No emoji is going to make you feel better about all that envy.  [/quote]

Envy about what exactly?  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

[/quote]

More emojis, same envy. [/quote]

Different poster.  Envy of what?  Move to DC.  Better housing, schools, commutes, food, clubs, etc. etc. etc.  [/quote]

No thanks.  [/quote]

But what is your answer for what you lack?  A bigger (possibly) but much cheaper house? But what of your commute.  And drip neighbors.  And lack of access?  Uggh.  No thanks to that.  And no envy here.

Having lived in both DC and McLean I’d say the QOL is far superior in the latter.  But you do you. [/quote]

Not in my neighborhood.  There is nothing in McLean that compares.  You must have had a small sample size.  [/quote]

McLean is full of people who could afford any DC neighborhood.  Get over yourself. [/quote]

I doubt that it’s “full” and that you are one of them.  There are some but they did not choose wisely.

There are so many holes in your argument: schools, neighborhoods, access, etc etc.  There are 6-8 homes near the river, the rest is McMansion boring.  Recognize your station or lack thereof.  [/quote]

You seem to be quite worried about not having your own status sufficiently acknowledged. Get lost. [/quote]

Quite the contrary.  I don’t have to worry in the slightest.  I just enjoy setting those such as yourself, who are quite lost, straight.  [/quote]
