Even out in Fredericksburg,VA (50 miles from DC, 50 miles from Richmond), they're building townhouses which start at $150,000 (two level, no basement). 2-3 years ago that bought you the same thing 20 miles closer to DC.

Hey, I'd pay more to be farther from D.C. too; why would anyone want to be closer to that parasite-infested nightmare?

Imagine what I had to pay to be 3,000 miles away!

And that put you 3000 miles closer to Seattle, Washington, home of the "Starbucks Socialists".

From the frying pan to the fire, as it were.
