[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I lived in LA, USC was known as THE place for cocaine – even for actors and others in the Hollywood lifestyle.  I know USC has tried to reduce the drug culture, but I still hear about actors appearing at fraternity parties.  Judge for yourself by visiting the school, but the combination of a rich student body + truly urban location + big time fraternity system + fast Hollywood culture = trouble for many young kids. I chose to give up the perks of SoCal to raise my kids away from that fast culture.[/quote]
And traded for a DC area culture?  [/quote]

IMHO, The DMV is an ideal place to raise a family, but I'm curious why some here think the DMV is a poor culture to raise kids.  For comparison, here are the flaws I observed in California:

An emphasis on "being cool" above all else while leads to an obsessive body consciousness (dangerous for a girl), de-emphasis on academics and intellectual ability in favor of physical appearance.  Lack of traditional values and morality, which leads to many broken families and girls being under pressure to "put out" at an early age.  Rampant drug use.

Overall, I think parents in the DMV obsess about their kids while parents on SoCal obsess about themselves and the kids grow up fast.[/quote]
