[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes the housing premiums in other counties are exactly an extra tax to escape living near people who look like me.  I am a lawyer and I cannot tell you how many times I have to deal with the look and comments about where I live amongst my colleagues who live in the expected Potomac, McLean, Arlington, NW DC neighborhoods.  It has gotten to me at times and then I think about how I prefer private school and how much more realistic it is to pay for it by staying where I am and I think about our disposable income in general and how living way below our means allows my family a lifestyle of travel and extras that I value more than anyone else's shortsighted, uninformed and sometimes racist opinion about my zip code.[/quote]

You said it so well. I'm also an attorney, living in PG with children in private school. [/quote]

Before we moved we knew we wanted private for our kids. Why pay 800 or 1 mill in another area when we could get the same home for 500 PR less in PG? Bonus: our neighborhood is 10 x better than we expected. We made friends. We thought this was a 3-5 year comittment, and now we are willing to stay longer. Wouldn't have happened elsewhere in DC.
