[quote=Anonymous]We determined that DC (former NE Capitol Hill resident) was not the right place to raise our kids. Some factors included: - Rising crime. Specifically, we saw groups of young teens frequently working our neighborhood to snatch purses. The second time it happened to my wife was the last straw. - The crazies wandering the streets... we're talking mentally ill people screaming and ranting to themselves about whatever.... - The public schools being crap, despite having the highest funding of any public system in America. Am not going to send my kids to private schools simply to compensate for incompetent public school system. - Jerks in cars speeding through narrow streets endangering our kids. - City government biased against us (likely due to being upper middle class white) during many interactions with public officials, whether police or city hall. In short, the juice was not worth the squeeze. [/quote]
