[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps because it hasn't been expensive for long enough? Here real estate is expensive because we're close to the nation's capital and workers pay a premium to lower their commute. But it doesn't mean they have the money to spend elsewhere, and perhaps not the temperament either. People working for governments/embassies/international institutions in DC tend not to be flashy types. [/quote] Bingo. Up until the mid-2000s Chevy Chase was somewhere a couple of government workers could afford after trading up from a condo in DC. Back then it was down to earth people with a respectable but not extreme amount of disposable income whose idea of a nice shopping trip was the Gap or Talbot's. It has only been in recent years that the status-obsessed conspicuous consumers moved in and while they're unfortunately multiplying a very decent portion of the homes are still occupied by normal people.
