The DC area is one of the most expensive markets in the country, Northern Virginia tends to be the most expensive part of the area (with the exception of maybe Capitol Hill), and Tysons Corner is tre chic (a large upscale mall, office buildings abound, etc.). I believe Mr. Ham's temp joint is a 3 or 4 BR place, and those are a premium.
Rho and I paid $650 for an alright 1BR in a so-so part of Maryland (Prince George's County, near the University of Maryland). That was 3 years ago...it's now $750. Damn.
