Bethesda's not cheap, but most of DC proper is more expensive, and anecdotally (as a DC resident), most DC-resident friends of mine could afford to live in the nicer DC suburbs if they wanted to, but choose to live in the city instead. The population that's the focus of this article isn't deciding between downtown and some Hagerstown or whatnot.

A quick look at the demographic data of the public school population shows that the newcomers aren't adding to the public school population. Either they don't have school age kids, or they are putting their kids in private school. Other cities won't have this issue though.
