[quote=Anonymous]12:10, "old money" households are few in number and don't affect the median much. So a 300-home subdivision in Ashburn of $400k THs and $600k SFHs is going to affect the median WAY more than half a dozen horsey types in Middleburg -- and don't forget places like Windy Hill which are full of the poors. There's a few rural places in deepest rural SW Loudoun that don't get many tourists and -- I hear -- still have a few outhouses. I mean, the household and stable servants gotta live somewhere, right?

12:13 is spot on, aside from Sterling Park, some bits of Leesburg, and the last remaining rural poors, there's not many poors to drag the rest of us down.

12:45, a quick glance at franklymls indicates you're full of shit. Hell, even a 1970s special in the heart of Leesburg runs you $300k (and that's one that no one's really cared for and/or is on a busy street), and any good Ashburnite knows Leesburg is full of the poors and is to be avoided.

12:49, Affording a $500k townhouse requires an income of $100k or higher; a $900k McMansion still requires an income of $180k. Median HHI is only $107k, this counts folks on their own, DINK families, etc.

19:51, you can get a well-cared-for 1970s home in Leesburg for $400k. Some have garages, others don't. New construction can be had for $500k but that'd be in places north of town that aren't walkable at all.

21:07, there's an ES in Ashburn that is failing? Or is it a case of the one poor Hispanic kid got a low score, thus failing the whole school? There's not a single ES in LCPS that wouldn't be middle of the pack in DCPS or higher. With that said, you're right, Ashburn isn't overflowing with affordable homes. [/quote]
