1) Who has longer lifespans: residents of cities or residents of suburbs in a country with 39,000 traffic fatalities per year ? (Hint: it's not the residents of the suburbs.)

2) between 2005 and 2010, who got more kids into Harvard: The 4 schools in Arlington County or 4 DCPS schools (Wilson, Banneker, School without Walls and Ellington)? (Hint: think tie)

Can you just give us the answers? This isn't a game show. Also, I have heard that there are so many kids in Arlington that are above national standards that the ivy league schools can't just take ALL of them.

Guess those fish would be better off moving to a smaller pond, then. Oh, the irony of moving to NoVa so that snowflake will have a launchpad into the best schools, right?

This is true. I think parents just want to be cool and live in DC. Who wants to say, "Oh, I live in Arlington, VA. Hee haw." They want to say, "I live in Washington DC."

^^^ Yes, because most grown people make major life choices based on what "sounds cool".
