[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know who you are hanging out with that looks down on you living in PG. I work in a high end field where 90% of my co-workers (and thus friends) live in Bethesda/Chevy Chase/NW DC. No one has ever commented on me living in PG or my kids attending PG schools. We all want what is best for our kids and are trying our hardest to make that happen regardless of where we live.[/quote]

I used to think that -- that my colleagues didn't look down on me for living in PG.  But then I, by chance, found out about some sort of mean/insulting things said about where I live.  I realized that many people don't say what they really think.  And I do think a lot of people who live in the areas you mention do indeed look down on people living in PG.  They just never mention it or express it.  But it's there.

That said, though it has taken me a while to realize this, it really doesn't matter what they think of where I live.  If I'm generally happy with my location, then I don't need to convince them.

I also think that all places in this region have positives and negatives.  There are always tradeoffs.  I could never live in Bethesda.  There's something about the traffic there that drives me insane.  It's like suburbia but with city traffic.  There are lots of great things about Bethesda.  But the negative things are deal breakers for me, especially given the cost of real estate.

So other people have deal breakers about PG.  That's fine.  The only time I get upset is when their deal breakers are really about or rooted in racism.  [/quote]
