[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]that poster was concerned that the common lottery was corrupt. She was not commenting on the quality of the education in any of the schools.  If you read that thread, it is pretty clear that although its OP seems excited about living in DC she does not have a lot of information about what DC is like (wants to pay $500k for a 1000+sf place close to a metro with good schools all the way through high school that does not have/need bars on the window and is in an area that never gets car breakins or has litter).  [/quote]

Honestly, all of her questions seem pretty reasonable for someone who may be moving here from a smaller city or a suburb.  People who been here a while can sometimes forget that most of the country sees bars on windows as a bad sign.  When I explained the school lottery to my parents, they thought I was making it up because it struck them as so ridiculous.  I never told them how much I paid for my house.  I'm still not used to the litter or crime.  City folk develop a tolerance for things that the majority of people would find unacceptable.     [/quote]
