[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing I'd like to point out: maybe it's the statehood thing that gives people in this area such a chip on their shoulder about the borders? But coming from New York City? You know, we'd JOKE about Staten Island, (an actual part of New York City), or New Jersey, or Long Island, Connecticut; but we would never go on such personal crusades against them. I'm sure there are residency cheaters there too--I knew a ton of people in Brooklyn (Note: I DID NOT DO THIS) who rented apartments to get their kids into 321 or 29; or who sublet apartments and used the addresses, used their parent's addresses, etc. I suppose they all are dirty cheating rule-breakers, but I never really gave a damn. I assumed that life was hard enough, short enough, and some things were not my business.

People here seem to spend so much time and energy whining about what they don't have, what other people have, and how unfair it all is. It makes this a really oppressive place to be. I'm considering moving us into Silver Spring, even if it would disrupt my children and their school where they are happy, simply because I am wondering if maybe people there are not quite so miserable and horrible? Thoughts? Is there anywhere in the DMV that isn't full of people shrieking about the people who live five blocks away over a border who are in some way, bad? You guys make Philadelphians look friendly. [/quote]

Mr. Rogers is from Pittsburgh. I recommend moving there.[/quote]

I would love to. Trust me, our entire family is poised to decamp from this hellhole if at all possible as soon as we can. Even the things that are relatively positive here are tainted with this aura of classism and entitlement and... all the whining. I am so tired of all the whining. We get it. You want stuff that you don't have. Why don't you have the stuff? Wah. Someone else has the stuff. Maybe they didn't work hard. Wah. Wah. Don't they know you went to Princeton? [/quote][/quote]

Leave already.  Mortgage rates remain at historic lows.  The only cities more expensive are San Francisco and New York.  [i]Somebody[/i] wants your crappy [i]house[/i], and [i]nobody[/i] wants [i]you[/i] - so just go.   :roll:

Girl, don't go away mad; girl, just go away.[/quote]

It's a real crime, seeing blondie quoted by a whiny entitled lobbyist who went to Princeton. [/quote]
