[quote=Anonymous]I was born and raised in Rockville.  Went to college in DC and lived there for most of my 20s.  Moved to Va in my 30s.  Moved back to Rockville in my 40s.

I think I have a good idea of what all the areas offer.

And they're all the same.  DC is different because it's the city and I was in my 20s.

But the suburbs of MD and NoVA are the same.  Heck the model house I bought is the same from the same builder.  There are large public schools, lots of strip malls, and nice communities.

Taxes in Fairfax are less than in Montgomery County.  My friends remained the same--I didn't find anyone in Nova to be more or less conservative than my friends in Rockville.

The big difference I think is the traffic.  It may only be 15 miles from my house in Rockville to my old house in Fairfax but it might as well be 60 miles.  It just takes a long time to get there.  On a Sunday morning--no issues.  But on a random Tuesday night, it's hard.

I have to go to Oakton on Tuesday for a friends bday dinner that starts at 6.  I'm planning to leave Rockville around 4:30.  It's just the traffic.

Because everything in the suburbs is so uniform, there really is no need to cross the bridge.  For the most part, everything I can get in Fairfax, I can get in Rockville.

I think a lot of people talk poorly about the other because they really have no idea and they've just heard others spout off.[/quote]
