[quote=Anonymous]I'm not in exactly the situation OP describes, but similar. We moved to a gentrifying neighborhood pre-kids with every intention of leaving the city when our future kids were school-aged. We like the city, though, so entered a select few lotteries, got very lucky, and here we are. We'd have moved, though, if we hadn't. So while it wasn't OUR plan (athough it certainly worked out that way), I completely get people wanting and planning to raise their kids in an urban environment, and being willing to roll the dice on charters/OOB. Also, we're fortunate enough to be able to move to a close-in suburb should we decide we need to move. Others may be faced with the choice of staying in DC or going to a far-flung suburd, with the hellish commute and shitty quality of life that entails. [/quote]
