A majority of the residents commute to DC for work and travel time takes 1.5 hours + (6:30 am for mornings or 4:00 pm in afternoon) by car to travel no more then 30 miles. A good amount go towards Baltimore for work, which makes sense to live in HoCo, because that takes no more than 25 mins rush hour traffic. I guess I'll never figure it out...

Born and raised in Columbia too and I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I love having been raised here and am extremely grateful that my parents worked hard to keep me here. I can understand the not wanting to live in Howard County if you work IN DC though, due to our lack of a Metro stop. But when I was little my dad commuted to Bethesda everyday and now commutes to Greenbelt everyday and he says it's not that bad. But then again he goes into work around 8-8:30 and usually doesn't leave until about 6:30.

[size tens]

Nassau county knockin' at the door at the number 11 spot.

Taxes here are killing me though. I pay a bit over 12k a year in property taxes for a 60' x 100' lot.

*Off subject, we'll have a ******** Super Bowl win under Dan Snyder before they have a metro stop in G'Town

  

No doubt about that.  THEY aren't going to let Georgetown fall to pieces like Largo Blvd did and other places by opening up a metro stop there. 

  

and to that, i say, Good.
A metro stop through GTown

Use a relative's address (if you have family that lives in Fairfax)....or look for some sort of scholarship to a private school.  

  

Pretty much.. My mom used my Aunt's address info when she moved to Fairfax County so she could remove me from a DC school & put me into a better one out in VA. 
To put it all in prespective, fairfax county has it's pockets of poverty... but w/ football players, politicians, Computer Tech's & Business moguls living out in VA for the most part (i lived near & went to school w/ Bush's niece, Colin powell's son... etc etc) Fairfax, & NOVA in general are pretty well off. a few years ago Fairfax was ranked #3 on this list.

In the DMV you have Rich & then you have poor imo, creating the high median

As a black male who went to Fairfax County schools, trust me, its not all its cracked up to be.

This... the advantages as far as school systems are there... but the same dumb +%$ I was doing in Columbus OH/DC/PG Maryland.... I & a good amount of other youngins were doing the same.
Honestly DC, if your question was sincere, go for a Charter HS in the city, but if you want to send your kids to a better public school, you should look out to deep Fairfax & schools like Robinson, Annandale...West Potomac & Edison have always been decent..but that "ENVIRONMENT" is still out there just not as heavy

how would living near athletes affect your life in any way? and there are no bad $!!@*$% in the DMV..? take a trip out east my man.

i'm surprised Montgomery County isnt on the list.. Chevy Chase/Bethesda alone should carry them. probably the richest area of that size on the East coast, short of pockets on the Upper East Side
