Hey, so let's all move to Carmel, Indiana! Because we all had such bad outcomes with our kids as a result of living here, right? And we all are so unhappy here, right? I'm so unhappy that I'm still here after 34 years. Access to the best schools in the nation, great healthcare, 3 airports, close to ocean, close to mountains, good transit options, great entertainment, museums, restaurants, and oh, yes, JOBS and opportunity.

I'll give Carmel the fact that housing is cheaper, but there just might be a reason why. Beyond the yellow brick road indeed. YOLO.


Best schools in the nation. Lol. Try Massachusetts or working anywhere for Dept of Defense. DODEA. Now then you can brag…

I said "access to". I believe TJ is still the highest ranked high school in the nation.

*magnet high school that you have to apply to

Makes our McLean area and school look like trash despite it being 2x more. We live in a. 4m home.

Check your privilege.

It's not privilege to do well in this country, check your prejudice. Be well

The DC area is boring and soulless with ugly overpriced housing, ridiculous traffic, lousy restaurants and bland, unfriendly people. But, hey, have fun with it!

How did you “do well?” By being born to a rich family or marrying money? What impressive personal accomplishments!

DC has reverted to being a hellhole and the big suburban counties in the DMV are full of people who feel the counties are run by hypocritical politicians who aren’t the least bit responsive to their needs. Could definitely see the appeal of living somewhere where there is little crime at they take care of their schools. I had one set of cousins who grew up in Indiana and they turned out OK.

100% agree, and yet it's 1000000x better than any MAGA shxthole.

I'm originally from near Carmel and would happily move back. I wish I had raised my kids there. There's such a better sense of community and of place than here. About the only down side is the weather, which is about the same as where I live outside DC anyway.

As it stands, I'll be here until my youngest finishes high school, then move somewhere warmer, cheaper, and friendlier.

because it is. The things we saw and heard about while kid was in school in Indiana shocked us. The poverty, drug abuse and violence surprised us. The KKK has a headquarters outside of Bloomington. I've never encountered so many uneducated people and I'm from a poor area in the south. People were very unfriendly and insular. If you aren't from Indiana they are not welcoming.

Zionsville has alot of charm but is also where all the old money is. Indiana overall isn’t a bad place to be, as long as you know what you’re getting into. Reasonable taxes and the state generally leaves you alone. People there are also extremely nice (Hoosier hospitality).

I disagree wrt the last statement. They're afraid of anything that isn't like them.

DCUMers are afraid of anyone who isn’t a major city dweller.

If you think Indiana is superior to DC and it's suburbs, please move there. You would be doing us all a favor.
