[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only lawyers or lobbyists stay in dc, do you want to spend the rest of your life around lawyers?  Or lobbyists? Normal people don’t.  Add in the costs and easy to understand why most families leave DC[/quote]

This is just false and stop saying it. I am raising my kids here and almost all of my friends are still here. I don’t find it any more transient than where I grew up (Midwest small city). It just depends on your circle- we are mostly educators/nonprofit types and feds. Not strivers.[/quote]

I call BS.   A family of “educators/non-profits” living happily in dc or inner suburbia is an just code for “our parents paid our down payment and currently pay for private school.”[/quote]

A non profit is not a real job.  It is a play world

You are an idiot and deluded. My parents paid for nothing (not even college). I make low six figures at a nonprofit and so does DH who is an admin for DCPS. We have a house EOTP and three kids in charter school. We have lots of friends who are similar. It really is not hard at all to live well with a HHI of $200k if you’re not a striver.[/quote]
