[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is "the DC thing"? I do live near Zumba instructors and electricians and those people a pp mentioned. We aren't in a rat race. We have much more than we need in a lovely home in Silver Spring. I have traveled a lot on the west coast, in the south, and in New England and I haven't seen any magical places where the real quality of life for us would be better. But I have seen places where you can buy bigger houses and live near more white people.[/quote]

I'm a PP who was talking about looking to do public service jobs at the county level and I get this a lot. Not so much the reference that every place smaller is less diverse, I come from a dying sort of shit hole former defense boom small city in the northeast and its super diverse, my high school was like the UN, granted it wasn't high SES, a lot of the people were 1st, 2nd generation refugee pops. but still divese.

Anyway, I live in the burbs here and we don't feel rat race like at all because we aren't in industries that are connected to contracting or  , federal government, I think that helps. Also, even though our hood sells for about 500-650K now it didn't always so there are plenty of people who have been here for 15-20 years with jobs and not careers, which I like.

I like it here a lot even though I will probably leave, but that's because we want to live in the same city as siblings, but if they could move here I would be perfectly happy. [/quote]
