[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If you moved for such important reasons as school and house, I think you'll get used to your new life. Progressively. [/quote] Statements like this are ridiculous. While we can all agree that some neighborhoods have objectively terrible schools that are non starters, 90 percent of the region offers a gradient. That is, you may have the absolute best school in the country an hour outside the beltway (I'm making this up because I have no idea), but there are tons of 7 out of ten schools all over this region that absolutely would suffice. Same thing with houses. Given all those options and the very very different lifestyles that can be had among those options (ie some can be living in a townhouse at the top of Bethesda metro while other have five acres with horses) it does not follow that a person who enjoys the former (walking in Bethesda) will by necessity learn to love the latter, just because the school is slightly better and the house is twice the size. Also, I'm a big believer that the absolute best school in the country with a big house will offer a less good life for your kids on balance of mom and dad are unhappy and not leading the life that fits them.
