[quote=Anonymous]This is how I feel. I don't know if I want to be tied to the rat race. I don't know if I want my kid to view the rat race of DC as normal. I think DC is a great place for people who really enjoy an intellectual challenge. I think the DC upperclass, elite and educated offer a great contrast to what so many of us are used to. However, there does seem to be something deeper and soulful missing. I actually live east of the Anacostia river. So I primarily interact with working class black DC natives. There is a vastly different approach to life. Neither is better or worse. But for me, I would prefer to have a little more community and homegrown feel to family and daily interactions. Northwest DC is the only part of the city where one can get a competitive education. It is a sad reality and changes the unity within the city. Great thread and thanks for everyone's honesty. There is much to think about in defining the kind of life we want for our families. [/quote]
