[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I make ~$500,000 a year, and to be honest, I would love to live in NWDC if I could afford it. But I don't believe we can. With two young children, I honestly believe it would be downright irresponsible for us to live anywhere in DC unless we had a dedicated trust fund or other certain source of money to pay for private school through high school -- which we do not. We do not intend to become golden handcuffed to our jobs, nor can we be certain what the future holds, income-wise. Having excellent public schools is simply a requirement for us. So we are grateful to be able to afford our lovely, close-in Arlington neighborhood (Maywood) with wonderful neighbors and great bus service. Not to mention our outstanding county services. So I am certainly not one to "trash" NWDC -- if price were truly no object, I would be there in a heartbeat, and I did live there for many years before kids. But I am perfectly comfortable in my belief that, despite a handful of good elementaries, the public school system there is unacceptable, period.[/quote] Honey you are too reasonable and sane for this thread. The crazy zombie posters will tear you alive. I do wish you and I were friends. [/quote]
