That's amazing. When I visited the DC area I was astonished at how cheap restaurants were compared to where I live. I guess that means there are even cheaper places?
When I was there, a 2000sqft house cost $380k, while the same house here cost $120k. Thank God I rented and didn't buy. I was there when the housing bubble popped. Sheriff stickers on more than half the houses in my neighborhood. People just walked away from their houses and mortgage commitments. I couldn't relate to the people there. I worked around 90-100hrs/wk and they bragged about getting out of work or complained that they weren't going to do something because it wasn't their job. It was a bad experience outside of work. The only positives I took away were the area was very beautiful and I left Virginia debt free.
Patriot, as I pointed out had not been there since the early 80's, and back then in DC things were pricey for sure, even my friend who lived in Fairfax the house he rented was three times the normal price else where. and traffic was crazy they had a traffic jam on I95 from Woodbridge to DC back then when I traveled that day.
