This is why I rent. Because I don't want to have to move to Laurel or Fredericksburg to find a lower priced mortgage. I like the city, and like waking up in the city and taking a walk on the mall and tidal basin. So if I'm not meant to be a homeowner on this earth, ce la vita.

I mean, nobody's forcing you to buy this particular shitbox of a condo.

There are similar sized condos in the city for half the cost. I personally think that one has a much more livable layout anyway.

You could buy a rowhouse for the same price and actually pay less since there's no condo fee.

Shit, you could even buy a single family house with a yard if you don't mind the appliances being a little dated.

No need to go to Laurel or Fredericksburg, there's plenty of stuff in DC more affordable than $600,000 "one bedrooms" that are actually studios.
