[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the DC area, it is a class/culture divide. Exurbs are for folks who want an old fashioned upper-middle class lifestyle - big house and yard, SAHM, etc. - without an upper-middle class income.  If you're wealthy enough, you get a big house in an established neighborhood. If you can't, you look further out. If you can afford expensive private schools, you don't have to worry about public schools quality.  If you met your spouse in law/grad school, you're both going to want careers and value commute time over lots of other things.  [b]People want to get as much as they can afford for the lifestyle they aspire to[/b][/quote]

Ah yes - one of my favorites.  Everybody who COULD live in a big house close to town WOULD.  There can be no other answer.  Anybody who cannot pull this off is poor.

As we all know, everybody wants to live as close to the treasures of DC as possible, and if they can't, they sacrifice by moving West, or North - these people are 'low class'.  ' d

As ridiculous as this post is, I actually agree with the last sentence, but that doesn't have to include being close to the city.  We personally don't need to be and when I have to go downtown for a meeting, it sucks the life out of me.  Zero desire to live there.

Before you throw darts, we live about 10 minutes from the beltway and can be downtown in 30 minutes with no traffic if needed.  Somebody could definitely commute from our house to DC every day.

Exurb is a term that is thrown around here so that people can feel good about living in their crappy house close to town.

I think most people would like a bedroom for each of their kids as well as a home office/guest room.[/quote]
