[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only reason I would move to McLean would be if (1) we couldn't afford private school or (2) we worked in VA. [/quote] Other then the shorter commute, what keeps you in NWDC? The fabulous schools, the excellent city services (snow, police, trash, ambulance, DMV), the taxes, or the hatred of the DC government towards upper NW? Oh, wait I know, it's the sense of community or some other intangible asset of an otherwise f'ed up neighborhood. [/quote] Other than the short commute to our work (which we highly value), we like the proximity to so many great private schools, restaurants, parks, activities, the sense of community and the aesthetics. Personally, I do not find much of anything in NoVa charming or attractive. There is nothing "f'ed up" about my neighborhood. Other than the school situation, I don't find anything about the city services to be lacking. The Marion Barry days of poor service have long passed. [/quote]
