[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you envisioned what it would be like to ride the subway with your family's groceries?  Or, you can drive to grocery store, park on level 3, ride elevator, then take cart back into elevator, go to your car to unload, take cart back to elevator, back into store, then ride back down the elevator to your parking level. . (you get the idea?)

By contrast, if you live near Tysons Corner, you can get a haircut, go to the mall, 3 other stores (not mall), grab something to eat all in 2 hours.  Convenience is priceless.  You couldn't pay me to move into DC limits.  Not everything is "walkable" unless you happen to live right next to your usual anchor stores, such as grocery.

Plus there's the whole school problem, getting into the "right" charters, etc.

Screw it.  I'd rather live in a close in suburb and take a short ride into DC to look at museums or a ball game.  In a good school district.  Like McLean if you can afford it.  Or Vienna or Falls Church City.  The subway goes there.  [/quote]

OP here - Really appreciate your POV and giving me things to think about! [/quote]
