[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is, DC generally is a crappy city for public transport unless you live close in (i.e. you're rich and can afford that, especially if you need space for kids) or right near a metro station (also expensive). While we have an extensive bus system to cover where metro isn't available, the bus system is NOT faster than driving whatsoever. Moving from DC to the burbs and finding life won't be that different because I had to drive everywhere in DC anyways, especially w/ kids. [/quote] With kids one thing you discover is that you wind up spending a lot of time in the suburbs anyway because so many kid activities are in the suburbs. I think a major factor that pushes people to the burbs from DC is realizing they are spending every weekend at swim or lacrosse or gymnastics anyway and it's 30 to 40 minute drive from DC but actually if you pick the right suburb it's 15 or 20 minutes tops.[/quote]
