I have been saying for the past few years to the all those people on here who keep saying how MoCo is going down the tubes, and NoVa is booming.... be careful what you wish for.
With all that boom comes higher cost of living, including taxes.
And now we see it come to fruition. We moved out of the Bay Area because the qol with all that boom started tanking.
There's a happy medium -- too little boom, and it sucks; too much boom, and it sucks.
as someone who moved here from Seattle, which was also booming....you're completely wrong. higher cost of living comes from the same political thought machine that inhabits Seattle and the Bay Area. it's not as intense as the West Coast, but it's coming all the same. only way to stop it is to vote more conservative (and believe me, the idea makes me vomit when it comes to national politics, but local is a different story)

I guess we need to pay for all the wildfires out west even though we never have a natural disaster in the DMV.
Just keep writing the govt free checks while you're at it. No one is stopping you!

Don’t care. From across the River here in navy yard I look at Arlington longingly. This morning’s craziness is just the latest example.
Can’t wait for my lease to be up so I can find some place in Clarendon. DC can kiss my ***

What's 2.5 cents in percentage terms? Or how much more on a $1 million house?

This is 100% higher than what was recommended. This county is going to crap and the schools just keep getting worse.
