[quote=Anonymous]DC is a great place to raise kids, if you can afford it. Think that basic premise is true just about anywhere and it just sucks for a lot of people that a dollar doesn't go as far here as it does other places. We love it here and the only place we would move is back to NYC. To make it work we both have higher stress, and higher paying jobs, than we might have taken living somewhere with a lower cost of living, but we both enjoy those jobs. And I really do think being able to enjoy living in smaller spaces and having short commutes is key. If I had to spend hours commuting I would hate my life, and getting home to a big house or a big yard wouldn't fix that for me. Someone else already said it, but it does sound like money is the root of the issue here. OP, if your jobs and family don't tie you to this area and you won't miss what DC has to offer, than moving probably your best bet.[/quote]
