[quote=Anonymous]we have an HHI of 120 at the moment, just moved here. Live in close-in MD suburb. Only reason we can afford to buy at the low end of the market here is because we owned in another pricey city in 1998 and realized some gain from selling that house. So we have some $ for a down payment. That was just luck. Good luck with your decision OP. I am still glad we moved here from the smaller town we were in because I like being around more educated cosmopolitan people. Call it what you will... I also like the "culture" but agree that many less expensive cities also offer good music and theater etc. It is a little hard to take the way everything seems more expensive here (not just housing.) I also feel like the kids are obnoxious. But I found the kids obnoxious in our small town too, so it may be that I am just an old out-of-touch grouch. [/quote]
