OP here, I appreciate the suggestion, but we are trying to leave the District for a better school system. [/quote]

It would seem to me that with a HHI of $1 million you would be able to pay for the private school of your choice and get to live in D.C. too?[/quote]

We most definitely could pay for private, but we are both (luckily in agreement on this issue) major public school advocates.  Private not an option philosophically. [/quote]

This is very interesting to me. So you are major public school advocates, but only if those public schools are good. Around here (and probably everywhere), quality of school is directly related to average income. It no longer sounds egalitarian and democratic to support public schools if you only support schools full of wealthy children. I would like to hear more about your philosophy of education and whether it also applies to middle class and working class children.[/quote]

Wondering about this too.  Care to respond, OP?[/quote]

I'm not trying to sound egalitarian or democratic.  Just telling you where we stand.  We are both products of fantastic diverse local public high schools and want the same for our kids. Therefore we want to move to a location where this is feasible.  Our house is fine (in an area with strong DC public schools), HOWEVER, we are absent a functional yard.  If we had that we wouldn't be looking to move. No clue why people think a dilemma about budget with my spuose comes across as snobbish.
