[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]

If there were injuries or deaths by auto accident a few blocks away every week or so I would definitely be concerned. There aren't.  Why would you deny there are DC neighborhoods where shootings are common or where the murder rate is increasing?[/quote]
