I don't think anyone is saying that McLean doesn't have nice homes. It's not that hard for a home builder to build a nice 5 bedroom. Most are a bit too new for my taste but so is Philips park. I think the issue is the people. These are people who will go to the opening of an envelope in Georgetown to be snapped in Washington Life. It's like get a life. You don't live here but I see you here every day. Personally I don't believe that the public schools are that great so we chose DC privates. Oh and I lives in McLean for 6 years before moving to ward 3.[/quote]

I'll take your word about the people who want to get their pictures in Washington Life.  I don't know them, but don't doubt they exist.  I expect the same types can be found in NW, Bethesda, and Chevy Chase.  Maybe your problem isn't that they are social climbers per se, but that they still have to cross a bridge first?  OK.

Schools are personal decisions.  We prefer the relative democracy of public schools, even those located in expensive areas, to the exclusivity of the DC privates.  The private school graduates that attended my private university had no advantage over the public HS graduates, so that was an important factor in our thinking.  But...different strokes. [/quote]

Pp again. You're probably right. I like you. [/quote]
