[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone out there thinks they are rich because they make $250k and live in a $1m house. In Arlington or McLean, that’s poor. [/quote]

This. The people I know out there are UMC, but not rich. However, they act like they’re rich. They don’t seem to know what life in McLean, Bethesda, CC or NW is like. [/quote]

This is an insufferable comment. If anyone is “acting rich,” they’re a butt. Anyone who talks about someone’s income and home prices is also, however, a butt.

We live in Howard County, technically a tiny bit closer on paper to DC than Ashburn. We like new builds and decided to move further out because one of us WFH all the time and the other goes into DC 1-2 times a week, but I didn’t like that you had to hop on a highway for everything. And while I generally think Virginia is a bit prettier than Maryland, thought there was a bit more interest in Howard County in terms of different types of scenery and areas—while typical new developments, also older areas, mini-historic downtowns, and farm area, etc. We also liked that, while an exurb of DC, HoCo is a suburb of Baltimore. Just felt like there were several different centers of gravity to choose from. [/quote]
