[quote=Anonymous]I lived in Wards 1 and 3, and then moved to Virginia. I don't see myself and spouse ever moving back to DC. Affordability was never an issue; even when we bought a rowhouse in Ward 1, we could have afforded a house in AU Park for about the same price. Safety and schools were an issue in Ward 1, and the insular attitudes of many residents was an issue in Ward 3. Had DC not been in such bad shape when we left, we might have moved back to Ward 3 from Ward 1, but we don't feel like we're missing out on much and we definitely are more comfortable with the school options. DC's a different city today than it was when we decamped in the 90s, but it doesn't have a big pull on us now. I can fully understand why current residents may feel very happy with their choices, but we'd probably move to NYC before we'd consider moving back to the District. [/quote]
