I live in Northern Va in what they call the Washington Metro Area, I can see the Monuments in DC when I drive down the road.

I have been here in this area my whole life and its awful, the traffic is awful, the cost of living is awful, you cant go to a fast food place without needing to know another language, the school systems in DC suck in spite of them trying to improve them. In Fairfax County where I live you are taxed to death, VA has a 5% sales tax, you pay taxes on your personal property (cars, mobiles etc) every year and the schools are overcrowded in some areas and do not meet the state standards under the No Child Left behind Act. We are soooo ready to move its not funny just waiting to get out of debt and then FL here we come. You could live in Prince William County VA things are a bit cheaper, the closer you live to DC the more expensive things are.
