[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm impressed at how much Arlington spends/invests in its parks, trails, and even dog parks.  It's a great place to live. [/quote]

This is true.  Each time we have family visit us from anywhere, they're like, "Whoa. Not just one, but EVERY playground is so cool." [/quote]

+1 on the parks. But where do you think that money comes from. :) I would rather have less parks and live in an area where you don't need to have over $200k per household to be able to manage things. [/quote]

A lot of people manage just fine with less than $200K.[/quote]

Would love to see who these people are that "manage just fine" with less than $200k. I think your head might be in the sand on this one. [/quote]
I think we fall in that category, though I guess it depends on your metric. We live in a large condo with a small yard, save money, contribute to retirement/529 and take a couple vacations a year. I’m happy with our life[/quote]

We probably fall in this category too. However, we would prefer a SFH but the schools we wanted, we couldn’t afford one, so we had to go with a small townhome. We vacation, contribute to retirement but it’s not easy and we have to give up stuff. This area is tough and we often consider leaving but have kiddos in MS and HS. At this point it doesn’t seem worth it. 🫤[/quote]
