[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a reason why [b]once people start having kids they move to upper northwest or close-in burbs[/b]. You can defend the crime all you want, though I’m not sure how crime is defensible, but it’s not a conducive environment to raise kids. The city is more alluring for young 20 somethings who come from somewhere else and want to try living in a city while they are young. [/quote]

"People" who?[/quote]

What do you mean “people” who? [b]Any person who has a kid[/b]. Let’s not turn this into something else.[/quote]

PP, perhaps you have noticed that there are many, many people in DC who do not move to upper NW or the close-in suburbs once they start having children.[/quote]
That is currently true. Which is why the big zoning fight right now is to increase density in upper NW because those young [b]white [/b]families are priced out of moving to upper NW but still want to.[/quote]

DP: Here is a map of children in DC: https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/map/6747-population-by-age-group-by-ward?loc=10&loct=3#21/any/false/false/1729/838/13833/Orange/

Wards 4, 7, and 8 have the most children under 18, and Ward 8 has double the number of children as Ward 3.

These numbers hold for public/charter school attendance: https://edscape.dc.gov/page/schools-enrollment-public-schools-ward[/quote]
Maybe you missed the word "white"? So let me highlight that again for you.[/quote]
