[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was born in DC, raised in NOVA and I liked it the way it was! I hate it the way it is. No, I don't "got mine" either. I was priced out even of the crappy 70's colonial I grew up in. The close in pastoral neighborhood I dreamed of living in as an adult is long mowed under for McMansions on small lots. You can't drive through my hometown at any time of day - 20 minutes a mile - really? In one of "America's best places to live"? Growth stinks! We will move when we retire - but I don't know anywhere that is like what our old suburbs were. This area WAS an amazing place to grow up, [b]my kids can't wait to graduate and get out.[/b][/quote] +1 Hellish. My nieces and nephews are currently looking for full time jobs and each of them say how they can't wait to escape the bubble here (they were born and raised in the area). They don't feel it represents real life, and they have a point. [/quote]
