[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Bethesda Is about 60% higher as a median income and about double per captia. Sure there are a couple neighborhoods a little closer in DTSS but most of the rest of them are actually further apart. Everything from education, wealth and crime is starkly inferior in SS.[/quote]

I don't dispute that this is true. However, one factor that may be changing is that younger couples who are saddled with far more student loan debt have significantly less buying power that their previous peers. You may start to see young families with more education and similar paychecks being forced to live in places like Silver Spring. The overall wealth disparity will remain the same but the income levels may get closer. You'll still have the dynamic though that once the financially successful younger families pay off the student loans and can afford to move for better schools they'll leave Silver Spring or start paying for private school.

The thread was never about SS which makes me suspect, but when I compare places like Kensington with Bethesda which is more on point there really is a marginal difference in income but huge disparity in housing costs which goes back to the earlier poster's point.[/quote]
