[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also live in Columbia Heights, and have for 6 years, and find it "safe enough" for us.  But schools are the real issue.  We were completely shut out of the DCPS and charter lotteries for PS.  Our neighborhood school is not an option.  We'll try again next year and for K, but then we're moving to Montgomery County.  When we first moved to CH, we were very optimistic about staying in the city for good and getting into a good out-of-boundary or charter school.  Unfortunately, reality set in this year--you really can't count on charters and the lottery.  And while the blocks immediately around my house have improved a lot in terms of crime in the last few years, I've found it harder to tolerate crime in general since we had a baby.[/quote]

soooo if you were to live in the housing cost equivillent in MOCO or FC, how "safe" and how "bad" would the schools be?[/quote]

Not the PP you're responding to, but based on recent appraisals and sales, I could buy a $900,000 home in the burbs if I sold my place in Columbia Heights.  I'm pretty sure I could fins a safe area with good schools for that.  [/quote]
