My ideal situation would be a cool looking duplex with a nice, shady back yard in Takoma Park or Wheaton or outer Silver Spring. Something that two normal people with normal people jobs and normal people salaries can afford and live normally. 
My partner and I don’t need fancy things. We’re work to live people, not live to work people. We’re good employees but not trying to hustle our way into stratospheric incomes. We just want to live life in the place we call home. And we think more people like us should be able to do so.[/quote]

I admire your ideals but reality is a bit of an ideal killer.  You may want a home but  townhouse may be your reality.  You may not want to hear this and I certainly don't enjoy saying it but one of you should sell out to your ideals and chase more money in your job.  Then  you will be able to get a home that you want.  The problem then is that the person who chased the money will be on a hamster wheel and can't get off.  This is the dilemma that many DCUM'ers are in.  Sorry to be a debbie downer.  [/quote]
