[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's me -- a regular working class person. My child will be in private school due to my ex's job.  So with the school issue aside, is DC still feasible? Thanks.[/quote]

As someone in a similar situation, I’d avoid. [b]Plus VA and MD offer lower taxes[/b] and state college options. [/quote]

DC has the lowest tax burden of the three.[/quote]

This gets repeated a lot but isn't true.

[b]VA in net has by far the lowest taxes because it has the lowest income tax rates.
[/b]
Property taxes in the 3 local jurisdictions are almost identical but housing prices in DC are much higher across housing types and income levels so practically speaking property taxes in DC are the highest even if the rates are similar.

DC & MD have similar income tax rates - DC rates are a bit higher but DC has some more carve outs for different groups that somewhat off set that but if you are upper middle class or affluent you are going to pay more in DC.[/quote]

By far? Ok sure, enjoy your car tax and significantly higher property tax than DC.[/quote]
