[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When chefs, waiters and bartenders can afford to live in McLean.[/quote]

Dc has great restaurants and chefs , waiters and bartenders cannot afford to live there.

Next. [/quote]

Does McLean have section 8 housing?[/quote]

What does section 8 housing have to do with chefs, bartenders, and waitstaff? Quite random. [/quote]

They need somewhere to live. [/quote]

So DC has a great restaurant scene vs McLean because DC has section 8 housing to house waitstaff and McLean does not?  Are you drunk already? My DH is a chef and there is no way he would even qualify. Even if he did qualify there is no way he would move our white family into the war zone that is DC public housing. He’s been mugged at night leaving his restaurant in downtown. We would not move to public housing. We’re quite happy here in Fairfax thankyouverymuch. A lot of his staff lives in Maryland actually. The ones who live in DC are young, live in shared homes with people often sharing a bedroom and lots of partying and some with major addiction issues. I can assure you the bartenders would not qualify, nor would most of the waitstaff unless they were getting a ton of cash tips they did not report. He has bartenders making over 6 figures.

Why does he work in DC? Good pay and international recognition. He has always worked in restaurants in major cities and none of it, even when he was a line cook involved section 8 vouchers. [/quote]

Here's an idea: he could ply his trade in all-white area so your white family wouldn't feel so unsafe anymore . Isn't it ironic that he can't get international recognition in a lily white suburbs? Weird.[/quote]

+1. DC resident for 22 years and ( gasp) also white!!  Why the chip on your shoulder?  I wish i knew which restaurant your DH chefs at so I could avoid it. You sound like a racist moron.  [/quote]
