[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, our kids are older and we’re sticking with DC, but I can see the benefits of not being here too. We just gutted it out, through some poor schools, crime in our non kid friendly neighborhood and other issues. Leaned into the culture early on, going to museums and other institutions often, but that has diminished as my kids have grown. The benefits have been diversity, language immersion, and street savvy (and politically savvy) kids. The downsides have been less fun for them, fewer traditional opportunities like rec sports (there are only a few teams and hard to get a spot), no music in public schools, mean kids/bullies. Things have gotten a bit better in high school. [/quote]
