This for me, too. And I don't want my kid to be a provincial (any more than she has to be given that we're all already somewhat exiled to the provinces because of the separation between political and cultural capitals in this country).

+3. Grew up in the 'burbs and don't want that for my kids.

So funny. I grew up in the inner city and don't want that for my child. It's not all that as you may find out, especially in MS and HS. Or you will segregate yourself in the city. All of you city folk, how many low income minorities are you hanging out with?

I feel so depressed when we look at real estate in Arlington. I feel like we have to do it though. DC is for suckers.

0. We live in the land of 500K+ condos. The low income people moved out a long time ago to the suburbs.

All of DC's urban neighborhoods (as defined by use of space, not as in a 1950s-1980s euphemism for disadvantaged) are by this point largely gentrified.

Please provide proof that Arlington schools are better than high performing charters or the JKLMM schools. Otherwise, your question is moot.
