[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Short answer: I think it depends on your personal tolerance for commute hassle. Do you already hate transfers and wait times and walks in the rain? If so, you'll hate it more.

Longer answer w/ personal anecdote: I think it sucks to have a complicated commute with or without a kid in tow. We personally walk 3 blocks to school and it is pretty wonderful. But on days when the kid is dragging ass it's awful, and it's just a 3 block walk! We have neighbors who do a longer commute and it seems difficult. If it's by car the whole way it's not too bad, but if it's on the metro and/or bus with a transfer and if it's out of the way of where you're ultimately going, it is a time suck and a dreaded task. Every single day.

For preschool I would wholeheartedly advocate for proximity and simplified logistics. It will be two years of your life. [/quote]

I think it's only 2 years if you live WOTP. Otherwise aren't we trying to make longer term decisions? That's what I'm hearing... Or do you recommend re-lotterying at K?[/quote]
