[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, remember most of these people in VA like the above posters are jaded because they can't afford to live "the life" in DC. There are plenty of areas with 2 car garages and tons of parking in the District...if you can afford it. So you're going to get a lot of snarky responses from GS-10s that clog up the bridges every morning.[/quote]

Sure thing. How much are you paying for private school again? I'll stick with Arlington, thanks![/quote]

GOd---here we go again!  There are a ton of us living here over the bridge that still own our DC houses.   :roll:  So- yes we could afford DC but the thought of paying $1,200,000.00 million dollars to send our 3 kids to private school when we are top publics that rival the education at those institutions seemed batshit crazy.  We chose to keep the DC house and buy a second home instead---while pumping $ into 529s and investments.

The DC neighborhoods that do have good schools are to far away from the action and more suburban than where we are now so that is why we left.  We also don't work in the District--though we do get downtown faster from this house than the one we had in DC.

We aren't feds. Thanks.[/quote]
