[quote=Anonymous][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.

The commute thing is hilarious!  You can't lump all of DC into having a good commute.  I have a colleague who moved to upper northwest reentry.  Her commute is about the same or sometimes longer than my commute from Falls Church (which is comparable to McLean distance wise).  SO living in the District does not always mean a shorter commute.  Oh and by the way, I have better metro access than my colleague.  I can walk and she must drive.  [/quote]
