You'd have to come up with a straw man argument to then being able to claim people are trying to make McLean something that it isn't.

It isn't the only affluent area in the DMV or the only place where people might decide to live, regardless of their finances.

[b]But it is the DC suburb with the largest concentration of high-end housing, and it's in a desirable location between the region's two major job centers with nice homes, top-ranked public schools, good amenities, and proximity to two airports.  [/b]

If you can't deal with that without resorting to snark, that's your problem.  [/quote]

Exactly.  Its popularity exploded because people were able to get more for their money than in NWDC and Arlington.. Convenience and access was about the same when you are talking about residential parts of NWDC and Arlington (away from metro stops and walkable amenities), but you could get a larger more private lot and build a nicer new home or remodel an old one that would be more comfortable than the shoebox living space you could get for the same prices in NWDC or expensive parts of Arlington.  Gradually developers swooped in and cashed out on this demand for newer homes rebuilding and changing the entire neighborhoods and also driving prices and making this area unaffordable to most but high income earners.
