[quote=Anonymous]We would never for many reasons.

1. Don't really consider D.C. to a be a real city, it's mostly a job hub and those that work there prefer to live there if they can.  Reminds me of the Financial   District downtown NYC.  If you don't work down there, you don't usually want to live down there.

2. Don't work in D.C. so no need to be there every single day.

3. Don't want to give up Representation.

4. Don't want to pay up the nose for private school.

5. While there is some diversity with individuals (often transient gov't workers), there are not many diverse families.  Plenty of black and white families, don't see as many other families that actually live there.  And if you do find a particularly diverse neighborhood, the kids go to school all over not together at the neighborhood school.

6. I'm content driving 15 min into DC when we want to do museums, Kennedy Center, etc and coming back home to my SFH and yard that my kids can run around in while putting the mortgage savings difference into funding retirement and 529 plans.
