[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you read the five or so previous responses, you get a sense for why you want to be in Arlington.[/quote]

There are whole threads devoted entirely to upcoming ES rezoning in Arlington, which show why OP might prefer to be in McLean.

It's ultimately a matter of personal preference.  IMO,  McLean has the edge in schools and overall quality of its residential areas.  Arlington has the edge in ease of commuting and extended day care.  In our case, we do not need extended day care and would not be happy in Arlington, which has too much of a cramped  "outer borough" feel to us.  Others might feel that McLean is too suburban for their own tastes.[/quote]

It's interesting that your opinion assigns McLean an "edge" on intangible things. There really is no edge -- the schools are exactly comparable, and the quality of residential areas? How are you measuring that exactly?

The commuting and extended day care things are more easily measured, so yes, Arlington gets the nod.[/quote]
