[quote=Anonymous]As a McLean resident, I find these discussions totally piontless. We came here for the schools (and the schools are good) and we never checked whether our neighbor's money was recently earned or went back generations. As long as they were nice (and for most part they are) we were all good. Did not matter to us that RFK lived here or that Mars is HQd here. It is close to DC and reduced our commute time significantly. So there is that. Bethesda is great but we couldn't (for work reasons) move across the river. So we never compared McLean to Bethesda or CC. Did not happen. I love the Bethesda downtown but we dont need that in McLean as Tysons is a mile away. We prefer Mclean to Oakton not because of prestige but because Oakton would be a painful commute to DC. Not because "prestige" is an issue. I do care about property values as a i have big chunk of my assets locked-in to McLean and so far that has held up. If it hadn't i would be complaining (but real estate throughout the DMV gives no reason to complain). There is no issue with politics. McLean has been voting democrats for years now. And the best part is that there aren't yard signs that scream partisanship. unless you think BLM is particularly partisan. Ease up folks [/quote]
