[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lower cost areas don't have the same amenities, and too often they're Trump country, so I don't want to raise kids there.  My parents both live in areas like this--super cheap areas of FL and TX.  Those are not my people or politics, and I like DC, so here we stay, for now.  May eventually head back to CA as empty nesters.[/quote]

Nonsense.  Right up the road is Delaware.   It isn't the sticks at all.  There are parts of Delaware where it is actually a shorter drive up to Philly than it is from Baltimore to DC. Philly also has wayyyy better dining than DC.  Delaware has much lower taxes and housing costs.  Mainline Pennsylvania has beautiful homes and can be much cheaper  in many towns than around this area and they have nearly identical politics and even more amenities than what villages around DC have.  Right outside of Philly too.  You can get crazy homes in a state like DE for what'd you get a crappy fixer upper price here.  If i I weren't tied to my jobnid easily move to mainline PA in a heartbeat. [/quote]
