[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like most of the people on this thread who were formerly in nyc were renting there, and in some cases pre-kids. That's a different story. You can suck it up and rent a small place in a very fun walkable area. Had you stayed, could you have afforded a row house in Park Slope? If you could, then you could also afford Eastern Market here in DC or really any nice DC neighborhood. If, on the other hand, you are moving to SS or TP because you can't afford $1m, then it is possible you would have ended up in New Jersey had you stayed in nyc. The small apartment would have gotten old pretty soon after the arrival of your second kid. So this is not really a dc vs nyc thing it's a childfree renting versus parent homeowner thing. Indeed DC is a lot cheaper to buy which is a big attraction. You can own square footage in neighborhoods here that would be totally out of reach there. [/quote] This !!![/quote]
