[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP asked how those of us with $150HHI and pay full freight make it work: its the housing. We live outside the city in a truly working class 'burn where you can buy a small 3 bedroom house for $230,000. Since you are sending the kid to a private school you don't need the neighborhood school to be good, so houses are cheap. Due to our income there is no formula for a fabulous house, fabulous school, and happy commute. So we took the fabulous school and good-enough house and a good-enough commute.[/quote]

Which DC suburbs are truly working class?[/quote]

Many in Prince Georges county.  Some in the east half of Montgomery County.    Ever been to Langley Park?   Some in far south Fairfax County along Route 1.   Pockets of Alexandria.

In the exurbs, which I don't think the PP is talking about, there are tons of working class enclaves.   Tons.   The next ring of counties including Spotsylvania, Warrenton, Hagerstown, Prince William, Calvert, Charles, etc etc etc.[/quote]
