But we value other things too. We value public transportation and walkable community- like being around farmers markets etc. we wouldn’t have that if we moved further out.[/quote]

[quote]Actually these things do exist out in higher ranked areas too. The Shady Grove red line is close to W schools so there are parents who drive 5-10 minutes and then take the metro. There are farmers markets all over. Many areas that feed into RM are walkable -Fallsgrove, RTC and there are tons of farmers markets. Wootton is getting an area with Trader Joe's, restaurants etc off Travilah RD. Churchill has Park Potomac and the Village. QO has Lakelands and the Kentlands.[/quote]

[quote]Right, but those areas would add a ton of time to our commute. So we prefer close-in SS, and have been very happy with the schools. Yes, there are more lower SES kids in the schools, but they do a great job of having a mix of classes for all types of abilities. My children are in a very competitive cohort. We brought in our starter home, but love the area so much instead of moving out of the DCC we renovated and are staying in our house.[/quote]

It wouldn't add time to your commute if you are taking the metro. [/quote]

LOL. These areas you talked about are just plain further away from the city then close in SS. It just is what it is. One of my fave phenoms on DCUM is people trying to convince themselves their commute is the same as people who live closer to the city. [/quote]
