That is a shocker, but I assure you, in Silver Spring it would go for half as much, if that. Now, in Bethesda, depending upon location, that is another matter. The District is getting to be pretty attractive, yes. It is still more expensive than most suburbs, in Northwest, but it is getting less out of whack, and there are good deals on Capitol Hill and in Southwest, and real bargains in Northeast, if one finds the right neighborhood. Southeast is too dicey for most people want to fool with, although there are a few nice neighborhoods with good prices. The problem is that too many of them are deteriorating, so it is hard to predict if they will be livable in 5 years, even if they are now. I am interested in either one of the neighborhoods along Connecticut, between Dupont Circle and Chevy Chase, or the West End/lower Georgetown area, or near the Federal District, say from about the Watergate to the Folger. The main reason for staying in Maryland is to get back some of my taxes in the form of cheaper college for my son. I do not think UDC is quite suitable, and I have given the Maryland comptroller a fair amount over the years.......
