[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is DC expensive when old folks have no mortgage and 2/3rds of this website are govt workers with cushy medical benefits in retirement.

Plus museums are free [/quote]

I agree. Those moving seem to be young families looking for a larger, less expensive house. That’s fine, but if you’re retired in the DMV with a pension, a paid-off home, and healthcare insurance/access, I don’t see the point in moving. Most people don’t want to live at the beach or in rural communities year round. There’s plenty of opportunity to live in the DMV and take seasonal vacations elsewhere. Everywhere has its positives/negatives. [/quote]

Which is why my wife wants to get a beach condo within a few hours drive of DC to spend a few weeks each year.

But downsizing and moving somewhere remote will sever all ties ti your grown kids, kids spouses and grandkids unless you can afford a big house near an airport with stuff to do nearby

My kids almost have zero relationships with my 83 year old MIL. Her place is too small for the five of us and dog to visit. She also refuses to visit or travel.
