Northern VA - McLean/Tysons is the third wealthiest zipcode in the country currently. Houses are a million plus for 3 bed 2 bath ramblers.

As far as the traffic, it's the worst in the country just about, usually fluctuates between the worst or 2nd worst.

Most major tech companies have some presence in DC and those that don't are coming here everyday it seems.

In the Bay Area, that's a heck of a deal.

Maybe, but salaries around DC are WAY below SV or NYC. The pay and perqs of gov't/DoD contracting can never compete with SV startups or NYC finance; not even close.
