[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This escalated quickly. I think it really bothers some people that it's possible to have great public education options and friendly, safe neighborhoods for median prices. Fear of the unknown can have a price (about 300-400k)!

Most of the people commenting on this thread live in the neighborhood. It is a great neighborhood. Most people in the neighborhood do not have the income to comfortably buy a $900,000 home and question whether spending $900,000 to be right by Wheaton Mall is a good investment. Wheaton Mall is not a luxury shopping experience. I go to Costco, Dick's, Joanns, Target if I must, the movie theater. That is about it for me. My teen daughter and her friends go there a lot to hang out. It is not dangerous, but it is also lacking in nicer restaurants and stores that one could indulge in if they have a high HHI.

Also, ather big law folks will think they are crazy. It is an area of the legal industry where building relationships and networking (both inside and outside of work) is important to succeed.  [/quote]

Oh come on. All malls are hell holes. I served on a jury that put a man away for decades for an attempted kidnapping at the Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. Guy was a total creeper who had been banned from the mall off and on for years but constantly stalked young girls there.

The Wheaton Mall is not a luxury shopping experience but sorry neither is the mall in Bethesda and I won't even go to Tyson's because it's always a horrific experience. Wheaton is fine if you need something from Target or Costco or want to grab Starbucks. It sucks not much more or less than any other mall. That's why malls are going out of business and consumers are demanding online or other retail experiences. [/quote]
