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.
