[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This country is headed for a demographic cliff over which there will be a glut of homes as the population (at best) stagnates in major urban/job centers and the number of rural ghost towns skyrockets.[/quote]
You may want to check the latest Census and compare from 10 years ago. The County population is growing at a steady and reasonable pace. So there will be no "demographic cliff". But similarly, there is no "crisis" either indicating that there is a shortage of housing and these claims of having a deficit of 200k homes that you will see people promote as talking points are just nonsense.[/quote]

Exactly this.

What people want is 200k houses and amazing schools. You want to get the 5 million cottage in mclean for 500k.

Baltimore is 45 minutes away and you can get a rowhome there for under 100k.

If the maglev is approved, you can get to Baltimore in 15 minutes.

You can afford private school when your house is paid for in cash.

The problem with OP is that they want champagne homes but can only afford beer homes. And this was prepandemic.

Move to Baltimore. It’s not as scary as you think it is.

There are really nice homes in anacostia (4 bed, 2 bath, front porch) for 425 K. Surprised that Anacostia hasn't been "discovered" yet by these GGW folks (racism?). Keep telling my husband we should invest. [/quote]

Implying folks are racist with absolutely 0 evidence. Nice. You must be fun at parties.[/quote]
