That's been a big big topic of discussion for years.  A while ago in "Fairfax
Journal" newspaper they had a comic.  In it the driver of a car was pulled over
by one of Fairfax's finest.  It seems that the driver had a periscope (sp?),
and was told by the cop that he was required to have a decal plastered in the
center of the periscope.
 
Anyway, once you get used to the decals they're not so bad.  What's bad is
paying the property tax each year.  But insurance in Maryland and DC is much
higher so you get burned either way.
