[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Car-less and family don’t really go hand in hand around here. We don’t have the infrastructure. This isn’t NYC[/quote]

-1 Not true. We are a car-less family near Clarendon. Sure, we get a Zipcar now and then or Uber but you don't have to have a car here when you have kids.[/quote]

How old are your kids?[/quote]
Different poster, but we live in Clarendon without a car too.  My kids are 12, 10, and 8.[/quote]

So do your kids do any extracurriculars, camps, or lessons?  Camp was what finally broke us into getting a second car.

Or do you just Uber/zip car a lot?[/quote]
My kids do camp at the y, downtown, ice skating/hockey, or the camps through the county.  We haven’t had an issue (yet), other than typical issues with having multiple kids who have different interests.
They play soccer and softball/baseball.  They also swim year round.  No issues so far getting them to anything, though the older one carpools to most of his stuff, but I think that’s typical of older kids from big families.[/quote]

So how do your three kids get to the Y, the camps throughout the county, their swim. softball and baseball practices?

[/quote]
We walk.  We live within a mile of most things they are signed up for, and we take the train/bus when we can’t walk.  Lots of people get by without a car.  [/quote]

What neighborhood is this magical place, we get assigned practices and games all over the place. Or do you do EVERYTHING at the Y? Do county camps offer bus service?  We did county camps but most years they aren’t at our neighborhood school.

I assume you must not work, b/c waking or taking pokey ART buses will take a *lot* of time.

By the way, what is your plan when the start the multi-year renovation of the Y next year?[/quote]
