[quote=Anonymous]I am a parent of a middle schooler on Capitol Hill. Lugging strollers up and down the steps and not finding parking on my street made me want to flee to the burbs, but having a kid who can walk to the majority of his activities has made sticking it out worth it. My kid can run to the store for me, can get to his own baseball game and piano class and there is a great community that watches out for each others kids. My kid also knows how to take the city bus (we haven't attempted metro yet). Driving age in DC is 18 and I like that he will at least be safe from making bad choices during HS in terns of getting into a car where he or the driver is drunk. [/quote]
