Really, I think your experience is colored by lawyers which are higher paid in Federal service. In my agency we have like 3 employees out of 150 who are Gs15; everyone else tops out at 130k. And most folks aren't making 130k by the time they are in their 30s, it takes time to work up to that for non lawyers/non doctors. Look at the one example on this thread; they are GS15 but bought in 2000, which mean they are in their 40s. young Genx and geny Feds have had years of pay freezes, smaller budgets, and such. Thy are not buying houses close in. No one in my office owns a SFH inside the beltway, I'm pretty sure, except PG county. [/quote]

How many of these families in their 40s have young kids? Most neighborhoods with $1.2M+ homes are older. And they had their kids, like most people in their early 30s. I can't tell you how many times I have heard people say "there are just no kids in the neighborhood!" They are MS, teens or off at college, so not a great mix for the younger kid crowd.
