[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want Hyattsville or University Park.

The hippy unschoolers in TP are all approaching retirement age. The young families are basically the same ones who would have moved to Bethesda ten years ago when it was cheaper there. [/quote]

This does not at all comport with my experience. I live in East Silver Spring, not Takoma Park, but I knew plenty of young families in Takoma Park like the ones OP describes. My kids aren't homeschooled, but I can name 10 TP families off the top of my head that are either homeschooling, unschooling, or using hippie cooperative schools.

There are plenty of "nontraditional families," meaning same-sex couples, openly poly-amorous families, families created through transracial adoption, etc.

The part that PP is right about is that these folks tend to be *financially* better off than the families who end up in UP or Hyattsville (or East Silver Spring, where I am) but in terms of values, they are more like the hippies of old than unlike them. [/quote]
