[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dunno, I thought it would because so many dual-income govt workers would have to move out of the city. Maybe people are still hanging on somehow. [/quote] How many feds did you think could afford those homes? Many rent, or own suburban townhouses, or commute from the exurbs. I know multiple feds who commute from WV or from places like Triangle. The few who have homes close-in typically have a non-fed spouse who can support that payment. [/quote] This is not true. Many federal government employees, like mine, live in rowhouses or duplexes in Northeast DC, single family homes in Takoma Park, Maryland, Silver Spring, and other parts of MoCo, single family homes in all parts of PG County, and sprinkled throughout the region. Some bought before prices skyrocketed in the early 2000s, some have family money, some have two federal government employees. [/quote] Two fed household here. We live in a house. [/quote]
