This reminds me of the thread about VA parents in DC schools and new money.

This thread proves it all.

VA = the ostentatious new-build show-off culture.

This is DCUM, which is the province of a few dozen insecure DC and inner suburb residents who want to feel better about their crappy little capes, bungalows and ramblers, so they tout the location of their homes and crap on new houses as a matter of principle.

Because the house screams nouveau riche. Actually, more like wanna-be nouveau riche, which is the lowest of the low.

And what's wrong with new money? If i make some money, I don't want to have to store my pots and pans in the oven.

+1, the whole old money thing is hilarious, they want to live in 1.5 million dollar crap shacks in chevy chase to prove something. To them looking poor is hip.

I'd prefer this over OP's posting. It's just prettier.

Now lots of new homes are listing at $1.3M

Is this getting out of hand? I just don't see how anyone will be able tobuild equity in houses in this price range in Vienna. Can you imaging these houses selling for $2M or more in a decade? I doubt it!

Thoughts?

I live in a tiny old condo "close-in" and would I take this house if someone handed it over to me? Obviously. Would I buy it even if I could? No. I do love the inside space, but I do prefer older brick or stone homes and older neighborhoods. It's how I was raised and what I prefer. I just find these neighborhoods lacking character.

I just find you superficial.
