[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm born/raised DC area, as were my parents and their parents.  I don't know ANYBODY, not ONE person, from the DC area who has ever been like "I want to move into DC and raise my kids there . . . for the walkability" or metro or whatever.  Well, okay, one.  I know ONE.  Honestly, to a native here, that just sounds F-ing dumb.  I am from Takoma Park, later Silver Spring.  Hell, I don't even want to have kids there honestly.  Now you can bury your head in the sand and say it isn't so, but how your local elementary school, high school, etc. are doing is a reflection of what your neighborhood is up to.  If it's bad, well, that's your neighborhood.        [/quote]

I think it depends on your lifestyle and set of friends.  I personally don't know of anyone who would gladly move to the suburbs from the city of DC, not ONE family.  You would have to pull them out kicking and screaming.  I can understand your point of view if you lived near downtown DC in the 80s and 90s when the city was struggling (similar to other big metropolitan areas.)  Times have changed and there are tons of family friendly neighborhoods in the city that you should come out and experience some weekend.  We would love to have you!  
Sure, DCPS has a long way to go (no argument there) but unwavering parental involvement is strengthening DCPS schools, and that's a great thing for all of us in the long run as a community.
It's all relative, really.
