[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the super rich of dc really make decisions based on others moving?  I’m going to sell my multi million dollar home and uproot my kids because of keeping up w the Joneses?

I really can’t believe they are that thick.

The “super rich” don’t send their kids to DCPS. [/quote]

This, but the PP is also missing the point completely if they think this is about “keeping up with the Joneses”.[/quote]

Exactly. No one lives on Capitol Hill to really keep up with the “Joneses”. Most people don’t choose narrow row houses with poor school choices in the upper grades. Or at least my parents weren’t millionaires when they raised us here. The area is more so a certain type of quirky, go against the grain idealist, city dweller type who values walkability. Many of those folks are also looking for a diverse environment for their kids.[/quote]

This is not quite accurate for current hill parents. Row homes on the eastern side are well over a million and limited prek and daycare means lots of expensive nanny or nanny shares with activities. Parents are definitely more competitive though they pretend not to be. [/quote]
