[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would imagine it’s quite frustrating to buy a house far out for a “lifestyle choice,” but then end up feeling isolated and also missing out on all the appreciation that those with close-in properties have seen.  We actually appreciate our location in a close-in suburb more, not less, since we started working mostly from home.  It’s easy to run errands and we still feel connected in ways that wouldn’t be the case if we were in some far-out location.[/quote]

“I would imagine it’s frustrating to see people on a forum where 90% of the people come from closer-in overhype the value of living in an closer-in. I mean, we aren’t biased at all and our little cohort is totally objective and how everyone in the entire DMV thinks even though the statistics show the exact opposite.”

“Outer-burbs” have seen 5-10% increases in median HHIs over the last 3 years, whereas most inner-burbs saw below 2% increases. People in outer areas aren’t “isolated,” you’re just ignorant and have never been to any of these places. You guys have no culture, you’re like any other gentrified northeastern suburb full of transplants. Greenwich, Wellesley, Bethesda, McLean, etc. They’re all the same and all extremely bland. This is why nobody likes people from inner-areas. It’s because you guys are over-pretentious and have an over-heightened sense of importance, and you make assumptions about “outer” areas you’ve never been to. Your validation for where you live almost entirely comes from whatever USNWR says and almost everything else you do in life depends on whatever Forbes says is the top 10 thing to do. You guys also live in your echo chambers and sound completely sheltered from reality, thinking you’re middle-class with $300k incomes, and you lack sympathy for others. That’s why you guys see these prices as normal, because you can afford them and it’s your houses appreciating to unrealistic levels. But screw everyone else, right?

You realize not every inner suburb is Bethesda right? Like we have a modest priced townhouse in Silver Spring, don't make half of $300k, and don't even know what you're talking about with Forbes telling people what to do. I'm glad you like like wherever you live, I like where I live, I don't get the hate.[/quote]
