[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you grew up here and every single person you knew/know live in CC, bethesda or NW DC, and everyone went to private schools and everyone belonged to the club and so did their parents and maybe grandparents, you would not want to live in SS or another less expensive area. It's like moving to the wrong side of the tracks. Your in-laws and other family members would cringe and your friends would wonder what came over you. Many native, upper middle class/upper class Washingtonians know each other and it is kind of like a small town. Ever heard the term cave dweller?[/quote]

I grew up in NOVA so not quite the intense wealth.  There are places though in NOVA I would not move to that others have no issues with mostly because they have come lately in the past few years and are woo'ed by a mcmansion. For example I am never moving to Lorton, Manassas, Woodbridge, Dumfries, Bristow, Haymarket  - hick towns or poor towns imo.

So I can understand what this poster is saying.  The thing is for people like this poster and the OP, there has to be some compromise.  Keep the house and the zip code but drop the designer clothes, use public schools, take less vacations...[/quote]
