[quote=Anonymous]OP, I concur with PP's on city versus suburbs and rural upbringings. I've raised DC in Adams Morgan/Columbia Heights. It's diverse, DC gets around on the bus and metro, DC has tons of friends in places like Bethesda and I don't know which reality is more real. Me thinks the ethnically and economically diverse city is more real than the ruling class suburb. DC "gets" current events in ways that are less abstract than children living a more sheltered existence. DC will return from the suburbs and say I could never live there! Also who are these people questioning where you live? Even if it's family, I don't see how it's their business. No one's ever questioned where I live! Plus a move would mean a longer commute to work or other tradeoffs. Maybe take it one year at a time and if the city seems too much, move![/quote]
