[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Granted, that is what cities are counting on these days to make their comebacks [b]-- a churn of yuppies that leave before their kids hit ES and of empty-nesters. It is doable and sustainable[/b]. It's just not what I prefer.[/quote]

Yep!  And with the exception of the woman artist who has 3 children in Bloomingdale -- and maybe her, too -- I can pretty much guarantee that NONE of the District PPs on the previous 10 pages have children over the age of 6.

Which is fine, I'll cop to having had a toddler myself at one point  :D

But it's sort of disingenuous or perhaps even lying by admission to insist that your little pocket of hipster DC is "awesome for families!!!!!!!" and stay silent on the fact that your schools really suck out loud.  And that includes all but 4-5 charters, too.[/quote]

woman artist in Bloomingdale here - I might not be the only one posting that fits that description but yes I have three kids and one of them is older than 6:)  He is in DCPS and doing great.  Charters are fine by us for the little ones when it comes time.  There are so many families doing this we are not daunted.  So no, I dont feel like I am lying by omission.  There are enough of us in the neighborhood that feel this way, we are actually in good company.  NONE of the families I know in this neighborhood with small kids are planning on leaving as they enter ES.  We truly feel we are building a community here - this isnt a pit stop and we HAVE thought about it.  We just dont think like you do I guess.  But I dont see why that is so hard to believe honestly.
