    "explain this: http://www.forbes.com/2011/04/11…

    First off, why don't YOU explain in?

    Secondly, let's look at some stats, shall we.

    Population of the city: 12,000 aprox.

    Biggest Employer: Inova Fairfax Hospital with 6,090 employees.

    According to the interwebs (who can trust those pesky things and their links which people post with no explanations) it's one of the nation's best and largest hospitals. I am sure a concentration of skilled medical doctors, administration and associated staff that make up more than 1/2 of a town's total population might skew something economically.

    Other companies with headquarters in Falls Church: General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman. Hmm. 2 Giant defense contractors that suck on America's tit.

    There. There's the explanation - overpriced medical care that might have been addressed by a single payer medical system and a bunch of supported defense industries that Republicans never ever seem to ever cut and spend the public weal on non-stop.

    Oh I'm sorry, what was your explanation because I missed it.
