[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As soon as we found out I was pregnant, we started looking in DC.  We had been renting in Alexandria and decided once we were pregnant we would buy.

This is not to be a VA bashing, but for us - we couldn't stand the thought of raising our child in VA.  We were renting in VA, because it was cheap.  We just felt like it was so boring.  Everyone was exactly the same.  [b]There was no diversity (color, SES, international families, anything...) [/b] We had to drive everywhere and just didn't like it.

We looked in DC and felt it fit our lives and our lifestyle better.  We've never looked back.[/quote]
Live wherever you'd like, but NoVa is way more diverse than DC.  In DC, "diverse" means "black." In NoVa, "diverse" means "diverse", i.e. plenty of everyone. And Alexandria of all places has plenty of color.  I understand if you were in Great Falls, but Alexandria?

Most ethnic restaurants are outside DC. Most ethnic markets are outside DC. Most ethnically compact communities are outside DC.  Most elementaries in NoVa are going to be way more diverse than acceptable elementaries in DC.

What diversity?[/quote]
