public employee pay and bennies is way above that in the private sector. 5 of the wealthiest counties are next to Washington DC. Are bedroom communities for the Federal workforce. Is it any wonder why are taxes are so high.
This guy, (I think he's from India), works for the local government, just bought a home down the road from us for about $750,000.

I'm thinking you can get better home loan terms if a public employee. Especially a Federal employees. You're job is seen as being for life. That you are un-fireable.
Thus you buy a larger, more expensive home than mere mortals. Very useful for speculation purposes since home prices seem to be going up faster in upper middle class neighborhoods.
