Then why are the DMV's pricy inner suburbs full of lawyers, lobbyists, and specialist doctors, and not people in the building trades?  I think people push their kids into the corporate world because they look around them and that's what they see.  [/quote]

Many don’t want to live among people who would look down on them and treat their kids badly. They see how even pink collar-workers like teachers, nurses, and social workers who live here are treated. When you go outside the pricey inner suburbs, you see amazing real estate owned by successful blue collar workers. [/quote]

This, and most of those professionals live in the inner suburbs live there because they commute into DC.  Not so for many tradespeople. They may be able to afford the inner ‘burbs, but there’s no reason for them to live there. [/quote]
There’s a lot of projection going on here. I live in upper NW surrounded by people who send their kids to private and many of them are not my cup of tea, but they are all welcoming to me and my less prestigious job and I would be completely shocked if they looked down on blue collar workers. We have enough “regular” people living in apartments in our school and everyone is welcoming and friendly to them. I don’t know where you get these ideas. [/quote]
