I’ve never heard of “posh houses in the beltway” that are owned by people involved in defense, yet you and another poster both brought this up. Is this actually a thing?

Yes, my cousin lives in one. He used to be a soldier that went on several tours in the region, then transitioned to a private job in the industry that made him wealthy.

Northern Virginia, and the areas of MD to the northwest of DC are very, very affluent.

DC property is very expensive. Average home price is over a million. SF is probably worse, but that isn’t really the point.
