[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]

I have a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old and live in DC. We are planning to stay here forever (we are on the Hill). Our kids go to public schools. I can't pretend that we weren't pretty lucky in the school draw; we are out-of-bounds for our great elementary school. But all of our local friends with same-aged kids have their kids in public/charter schools now and are planning to keep them there for the long haul. There are a lot of great options now, and the hassle that comes with finding a good public school fit in DC is worth it to us--we love our neighborhood and the lifestyle that comes with living walking/biking distance to everything.[/quote]
