We relocated from Massachusetts to Ashburn in August 2000. Loudoun is perfectly situated, with easy access to the Dulles Toll Road and the District. During our first few years in Loudoun, we were content and felt that the people living in and around Loudoun were kind and pleasant.
Slowly, that all changed as the cost of housing rose steeply. The influx of residents brought many extremely materialistic, superficial, self-centered and, most of all, rude people. Aggressive drivers became common, and the warmth and friendliness were replaced with indifference and selfishness. Being the nation's wealthiest county connotes financial superiority and snobbishness, in my opinion.
That is why we moved to Clarke County five months ago -- to escape the very same behaviors and attitudes that prompted us to leave Massachusetts six years ago.
