And my neighborhood has one section of nice townhouses.

I get the feeling this family needs to take a step
back and look at the big picture. They are not middle
class in your region. As I would not be.[/QUOTE]

There...i got you to say it. I know you arent partisan and im not picking on you. But you said exactly what i have been hammering at.

Dual income, college educated with a skill that is vital to the community and they arent middle class. What does that tell you?

your area is far from the norm, very far. as for housing, i know there are nice areas, probably not in fairfax, that they could get into. but perhaps they really want to live in fairfax, that's their choice.
by the same token, two teachers down here are living high on the hog. so, for every example you could give according to one of the most expensive areas in the country, no doubt most of us could give examples of how it's not the case. thing is, some think i have a 'distorted' viewpoint, because i live in arkansas. but i was born and raised in maryland, lived in cali, florida, and even overseas before moving here, to missouri, and then back here. in other words been there, done that. if you've lived only in that area, of course that's all you know-kind of like people who have never left here, they think it's all the same as here-couldn't be further from the truth.
