[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you want to stay in the city, you'll find like-minded people in Eckington, Edgewood, Brookland, Woodridge, Takoma, Michigan Park, etc. Really anywhere that the baseline housing price is <$1M and the (DCPS) schools are just ok. Capitol Hill is a spot that attracts an unusual number of striver/competitive parents because so many people are in or adjacent to politics and are used to gaming out every aspect of their work life. And then the machinations translate to home life as well. (I live in DC, not in Capitol Hill. But I have friends who live on the Hill and when I socialize with them/their friends, it's like entering a weird semi-parallel one-upsmanship parenting universe.)[/quote] OH, and I'll add that in my experience, the striver stuff is also pretty bad in wealthy-ish suburbs - anywhere people move for "the schools."[/quote]
