[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone, new to DCUM. I’m wondering if anyone here has lived in Southern California (specifically San Diego or north county San Diego) and moved to northern Virginia (Vienna, McLean, and nearby areas). Which place is a better place to raise kids in your opinion? Child would be entering kindergarten and I can see pros and cons to both geographical locations.

San Diego: Pros- fantastic weather, sunny, friendly people, easy living. Feel like I can relax here. Cons: homeless population, wildfires, worse public education system (although we would only be looking at private schools in both geographic areas)

NoVA: Cons: more traffic, more congestion, worse weather. Pros: more educated population overall, more of a high achieving culture.

For those having lived in both places: do you feel that the overall higher achieving culture and educated people in NoVa make for a better place to raise children? We place a large emphasis on quality education but would want child to have a reasonably happy childhood.

Thanks much in advance![/quote]
