[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again - i could deal with the rents and helicopter moms and the insane daycare costs, etc.  Or I could deal with the horrible weather, crappy commutes, and high job expectations.  But not all of the above.  This is no way to live.[/quote]

Then don't.  I love living in the city.  Love our neighbors, our public school and the opportunities that are here.  It works for our family. No one is making you stay, if you want to leave, then start doing what needs to be done to make it happen.  [/quote]

ITA!  This place is not for everyone.  I love it here - When I walk to work, I see my neighbors and we stop and chat.  They ask about my daughter, I ask about their kids, or their spouses, or their dogs.  On the weekends I go to the farmers market which is a short walk and my DD and I went to the pool on Saturday.  My neighborhoods mom group had a meeting a few weeks ago to talk about things to do in our neighborhood.  We also share hand-me-downs and a few of us had a pot luck dinner.

Sound like the 'burbs?  No - I lived 10 years in VA and never had this - this is in DC - you get back what you put into your neighborhood.[/quote]
