Left SF three years ago to be closer to husband’s family. I don’t love DC but I do not miss SF at all.

Lived in San Francisco twice. Once for '94-'97 and once for '15-'18.

The first time was pretty great. It was the San Francisco everyone is nostalgic for. The second time was horrendous. The city is now a literal sh*thole. I would never move back.

I agree...I lived there in the early 2000s through 2010 and the city was in visible decline when I left (though it still kept getting pricier).

Yep

This. I seek out for these for this reason! We should be friends

Maybe not cool, but definitely grounded...move to North Springfield.

Yeah North Springfield/Burke meets this requirement.

Garrett Park, MD. Very grounded and easy going families around here.

No, I'm in Old Town and Alexandria parents are only cool until their kid gets to school age and they are terrified of ACPS and either get competitive about applying to SSSAS or moving to FCPS.

+1 - also the MC/UMC people who live in Lake Barcroft area of Falls Church and send their kids to the public schools. They actually walk the walk.

I was looking for this after my own childhood in upper NW but I overshot I think with Mt Rainier and maybe they're all just crazy along a slightly different axis here.
