[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most of the comments on this thread have missed the point.  The reason that the schools in the DMV (and let’s face it we’re only talking about certain schools in particular neighborhoods) are so competitive is that the most competitive people come to this area.   I have lived in NJ NY and  Conn.  I have friends in SF and LA and as far as I can tell they don’t hold a candle to dc.  On my block there is not a single family where at least one of the parents don’t have an advanced degree.  I have not met a single adult in my town that does not have a college degree.  Other than than the SAHMs everyone I meet has a professional or management position.  Competitive people have competitive kids which makes for a competitive community.  When I lived in NJ there were lots of competive people but there were also people who had regular jobs who inherited their parents house or lived in low income apartments.  But if you live in an area where the only housing is million plus single family homes you’re not going to get many people like that.  [/quote]

You must have lived in a MC neighborhood. Hate to break it to you but NY and CA housing costs much more than your $1m DMV homes. [/quote]
