[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you be willing to say which Chicago suburb? I know the area well and might be able to be more specific if I knew where you were talking abotu.[/quote]

Job based in Aurora.[/quote]

Once you get as far out as Aurora, it's pretty much bland suburbia.  BUT, you could live in LaGrange, Western Springs, Hinsdale, Elmhurst, etc. and commute.

The winters suck though.[/quote]

I'm from Chicago suburbs and I agree with this. You would not want to live in Aurora or any suburb west. But there is some of the same competitiveness, materialism in Hinsdale and the close in western suburbs. I currently live in the South Hills of Pittsburgh - love it. There are other threads on Pittsburgh you can search. Not everyone loves it but it's working for us. Property taxes are higher than DC (Chicago suburbs will be higher too) but the housing prices are lower. [/quote]

South Hills is pretty middle to lower middle class. Real contrast from DC.[/quote]

Really? When did you last visit? I didn't want to identify my exact suburb but I was referring to Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, etc.  The school districts switch off being #1 and #2 in western PA.  There is economic diversity (which I find nice actually) but there are also many houses that cost 1-2 million. The people I've met are just as smart as the people I knew in DC -- however they don't have an attitude. This type of post makes me so happy I moved.[/quote]

What type of post?  You mean the type of post where someone gives an opinion that differs from yours??? It is ironic that the very things you pretend to be trying to escape from by leaving DC (pretentiousness and people with superiority complexes because of where they live) are precisely why "this type of post" upsets you.  Think about it.[/quote]
