Don't get the hostility...you can be assured that many people with kids in Madison and Marshall were aware of DC's school conundrum, and that's why they moved. You say this like someone is forcing you to stay in DC. It's not like housing is cheap in the Wilson zone. So what's with the name calling? People make decisions for their own families.

Amusing. I went to Robinson when it had serious gangs in the 80s, have a bunch of bozos living in McLean and Arlington working for me, and can buy one of their houses every year with plenty of money to spare. I have been doing laps around these people for years inside and outside government. So will many of the kids going to Madison and Marshall. These kinds of people belong more in SoCal or Manhattan, with their pathetic little obsessions with zip codes and micro-neighborhoods and real estate trends.

This thread that had been dormant five years. Weird flex, dude (especially given that the post to which you responded bore no relation to reality to begin with).

You might want to seek help for that lingering chip on your shoulder.
