[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you OP.  It sounds like you are in one of the nicer suburbs but your post did make me feel slightly better about staying in DC. We have a 3 BR detached bungalow and a yard and the area is up-and-coming with new bars and restaurants opening, but [b]there are shootings every week or so a few blocks away[/b].  We are past the free DC pre-school years and DH is making noises about moving before older DD hits HS. I know he is full of it because he hates commuting even more than I do. [/quote]

Lovely.  You couldn't pay me to live in that type of neighborhood, especially with kids.  [/quote]

+1 this is a dealbreaker, no amount of cool restaurants and bars could make up for this  (and I live in the city)[/quote]

Why are shootings a deal breaker but injury or death by auto accident isn't?  I don't think the odds of either is particularly high.[/quote]

It's not just shootings and the other violent crime.  It's the drumbeat of constant problems.  I'm too tired to get into it, but go to popville for examples.  Just today we have two shootings, several sexual assaults, and someone getting pegged in the head with a slurpee while leaving Metro (followed by numerous commenters talking about the times they were randomly hit with things, ranging from rocks and bottles to fireworks).  Also schools.[/quote]
