Review of Arlington, Virginia


Outrageous cost of living
Star Rating - 7/4/2008
The entire DC metro area which incldes Arlington, VA is WAY overpriced. I mean people are paying like 2K a month for a little itty bitty teeny tiny one bedroom apartment or condo. Unless your Bill Gates rich stay away from this dry out your bank account and have nothing to show for it place.

...except the best public school systems in the nation, the best museums in the world, the best shopping in the country outside Manhattan, the best subway system in the country, etc., etc. BTW, nothing is overpriced if people are willing to pay for it. You should have learned the law of supply and demand in grade school. Smart people want to live here, stupid people feel out of place here.

Poor C. C. - "Smart" people vs. "stupid" people? I've been an Arlington resident for 36 years and am ashamed to think I may share a zip code with such a nasty individual in such a wonderful place.
