[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Been here 18 years.

For me it has been:
- The disaster of the vaccine rollout. Really revealing in terms of city government incompetence.
- The failure to fully reopen schools.
- Crime. Gun violence just blocks away from our home in broad daylight.
- Proximity of[b] Jan. 6th[/b] events to our home, the fencing off of the Capitol, the [b]militarization of the city [/b]related to political unrest.
- The [b]nonsensical pandemic restrictions[/b]. Schools closed, but indoor dining open pre-vaccines. Outdoor mask mandate long after it was clear unnecessary. Mayor issuing and taking back new guidance this weekend. No metrics for when restrictions will be dropped. Mayor refusing to answer reporter questions on.

It's all just so exhausting. Add on top of it, [b]how hard it is to buy a home, get into daycare, buy in a good school district.

I love the city and have really put down roots here through early career to building a family, but at some point it's just not worth it.[/quote]

+100 on the bolded. We left DC for Florida and have never been happier. Mock all you want. Didn't think I was unhappy in DC until I finally left. 
Good quality daycare at reasonable price and weather alone have improved our quality of life 100x over.[/quote]
