[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single mom of one, with all of my family on the West Coast. I make it work by living in a close-in neighborhood in DC in a condo I bought in 2001. This gives me a short commute and minimal errand time. I order a lot of stuff online as well. As others have noted, the big issue is childcare during snow days, school breaks etc. I make 110K, and it's still quite expensive, although mine will be in public school in the fall, which will save me some cash. I do like living here, however, There are tons of great free things for kids to do - museums, theater, concerts, parks etc. It's easy to meet like minded people. For me, that would be people who believe that education and community service are important, but it's a big city, and there are interest groups for whatever floats your boat.[/quote]
