[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey don't dog OH + PA pp -- we were smart enough to vote for Obama and many of us live in DC are transplants from OH + PA. How about people live in the burbs because they don't like diversity? That is more true than not.[/quote]

One of my not-favorite-things about DCUM is the number of non-tolerant liberals here.  It is more true than not that people in the suburbs don't like diversity? Please back that up with some sort of empirical study before throwing slurs at people who make different choices than you.

DH is from a small town and hates the noise and traffic and lack of parking and small or non-existent yards in DC.  I love Capitol Hill, but all of those things apply to a greater or lesser degree.  We can't afford the $$ homes in AU Park or elsewhere that would get us yards and parking and decent neighborhood schools as an option.

We're both much more sporty, outdoorsy people so being near museums and theater and such isn't a priority for us at all.

On top of that, we both work in the burbs, and did long before we had kids.

We have not yet made a decision about private school, although we are leaning in that direction, and living where we do will probably make it a challenge without carpools and such, but living where we do generally makes sense for our family with that one exception.[/quote]
