  It certainly does.

  My place in Laurel was pretty nice.  It was about $225K, complete with
bullets flying overhead, busybody lawn-nazi neighbors, and "WHITE
MUTHA FUCKA!" issues.  By contrast, my place in FL $97K (granted it's
smaller, about 2/3 the size), three miles from several different
beaches, and in a neighborhood where locking the front door when you
leave the house is optional.

  I will never live in the DC area again.  Ever.  Staying there as
long as I did was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.
