[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m one who moved. Our very high income family was sick of being taxed like crazy, having no school, and (most of all) being surrounded by loons who think looting is a form of free speech and that encampments of human poo/drugs are appropriate near schools.

We are enjoying our lower tax rate, and REALLY enjoying living with people who have common sense! [/quote]

Thanks for confirming that most of the posters on this thread get off on the city's problems.

[b]Oh, and I'll bey your "very high income family" makes less than mine[/b].  Otherwise you would have gone private.[/quote]

I definitely left because of people like PP.  one of many reasons.  DC doesnt even have that many wealthy residents.  The wealthy residents are poor compared to the wealthy in LA, NY etc.  I mean it’s one thing to be living in some fancy apartment in a world class city with kids in fancy prep schools.  But someone from NW DC talking about their very high income?  It’s laughable.  [/quote]
In contrast to NYC and LA, DC is not burdened with the mega rich.  We have Ted Leonsis and Steve Case vs. uncountable hedge fund tycoons and fashion and entertainment celebrities.  That is DC 's charm.[/quote]
The real rich people in NYC and LA are foreign nationals. Russian oligarchs. Persian construction magnates. Turkish banking family. Chinese real estate owners.[/quote]
