[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've left the area after a number of years. I came to the conclusion that many people in the DMV (I was in NOVA) are leading lives of [b]quiet desperation[/b]. The outside looks good, enviable -- nice house, cool car, designer clothes, interesting job -- but behind the scenes their lives are a mess. High amounts credit card debt loads fueled by the insanely high cost of living and cost of housing, but people feel like they have to play the game and keep up appearances. Their kids are falling apart and acting out because the schools are both socially dysfunctional and academically stressful. I could go on, but you get the point. Living that way for years makes people there [b]insecure, exhausted and angry. Saw it all the time.[/b][/quote] Agree.[/quote]
