[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know a lot of people who moved further out during COVID. Or moved to places where they could no longer commute to their office, ie other parts of the country.

We were the "idiots" who stayed in our NW DC home with a difficult baby and refinanced twice during the pandemic. Well, guess what? We look like the geniuses now. With RTO 2-3x per week, its easy for us to drive 10 minutes to the office. We knew from the outset that people were going to get called back in; in fact, the only surprise is that it's taken this long.

Hint: having trouble finding a spot in daycare for your young kid? Look in downtown DC - lots of availability. Though I've heard that the waitlists are starting to return at some in-demand daycares and preschools (eg, bilingual or Montessori). [/quote]

Congratulations! I am a fed who moved to this area in my 30s and has never made enough to live in NW DC. If I could live 10 minutes from the office I absolutely would.

Instead we live 10 minutes from my spouse's university teaching job, which has to be in person, and 2 hours from my job in DC. Yes, commuting sucks, but compared to you I've been picking from a much less appealing set of options this whole time. So I left my hybrid job for a remote one with a raise this year, and I'm just hoping it stays that way. [/quote]

And if it doesn’t…you try to find a new one.  That’s life.[/quote]
