[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC.  Most of the posters are from the suburbs.[/quote]

True. Most posters can't afford NWDC. The jealousy is so apparent. [/quote]

LMAO!  I live in McLean because it is OBVIOUSLY better.  It's like comparing a beat up toyota truck from Afghanistan to a shiney, new BMW.[/quote]

Mmmm, sorry no.  The beat up toyota trucks are found in the driveways of McLean, VA.  The new BMWs are found in Georgetown, Dupont, Capitol Hill, Chevy Chase DC, AU Park.... and I could go on.  Wishful thinking has the poster confused and disoriented.[/quote]

You clearly missed the issue of The Washingtonian (March?  April?) that showed that the most expensive homes in the area were mostly in McLean.  AU Park doesn't even begin to compare, and Capitol Hill is just laughable.

There are no proverbial beat up Toyotas in McLean--the average home price is $900k, and that won't buy you much.  [/quote]

Sorry.  Wrong.  McLean is... lame and a total yawn-fest.
Yes, comparing McLean to great neighborhoods in the district like AU Park, Chevy Chase, Capitol Hill, and Georgetown is, indeed, laughable.  I have never heard of anyone wanting to go all the way over to McLean because there is nothing to see or enjoy..... but enjoy your traffic (you need to love traffic if you live out there!)[/quote]

What are you 25 and single?  If yes, then, sure Mclean sucks.  Even if you are a married couple of advanced age without kids I would agree.  I don't know what type of lifestyle you live now and how many nannies you have, so that you can enjoy the nightlife and the restaurant scene of a city.  Mclean is a suburb, and that's that.  How many exciting suburbs do you know?  People go live there to raise families and to have amenities that are relevant to their kids, not to 20 somethings looking to party, or bored empty nesters.
As far as traffic is concerned, the reason why the housing is expensive there is because of the central location close to many employment centers and the city.  My drive to work is 10 min and if I want to visit family in DC it's about 15-20 min drive.  Since the density of housing around GW parkway is pretty low, we don't get much traffic going this way on the weekends or outside of rush hour.  From my experience, there is way more traffic around Silver Spring and Tysons than it is around chain bridge road and GW pkwy and you don't have to take the Key bridge if you don't want to.
