Of course it does. More money = better life... duh. Since when do more affluent areas have a better quality of life? Silly me. I do enjoy your traffic though.
I really don't understand what's so bad about Loudoun. You don't really party in DC any more so what's so great about Arlington or Fairfax? What does Fairfax have going for it other than proximity to DC? Nothing. I spent 20 years in Ffx and can tell you it really isn't that great and it's definitely not what it used to be.
People have a stigma about Loudoun that it's too far, is the sticks and full of crusty old folks that's just not true any more. I'd ask any of you to name 5 things that's better about Fairfax as compared to eastern Loudoun County. Here's a hint, more traffic and more expensive housing don't count as pluses.

I call BS. You mean to tell me that if someone gave you a stipend you wouldn't live 15 minutes farther west? That's just plain dumb. What exactly are you getting out of where you live?

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
