It's amazing to me that with only about 10% of the DC metro area making over $200K, it seems most of them are here on DCUM. They seem to live in a different reality from the rest of us and sometimes it seems we're talking about two different worlds. Maybe have a forum for them to post so that they can talk to others who feel that middle class is $250K annual, that it is unfair that on $300K HHI they cannot afford a reasonable house and private school for their three children, that they feel so poor they would have to move down to Rockville or that $700-900 is a start home. And then the beg sympathy from the rest of us about how terrible their plight is.


Let's be honest. If there were a reality TV show about how the 10% of Washingtonians who make over $200K live, you would watch it (and then come to DCUM to criticize it). Here, you get to see it and not even have to be constantly interrupted by commercials for erectile disfunction medicine and feminine hygiene products. And, you still get to criticize them. What's not to like? Of course, we could create a separate forum for them, but -- just like what happens when we try to establish "men-only" forums or threads -- it would just get infiltrated by posters from Rockville.
