[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you are one of only a relatively few people that want to raise a family in the district. Everyone else prefers good schools and low crime.[/quote]

That's not true anymore. My DCPS is full to bursting with kids from families who have the means to move elsewhere but chose to stay in the city. DC is a great place and I'm happy to be raising my kids here instead of MoCo where I grew up.[/quote]

Yes--DC has a lot of areas that are more suburban than the suburbs!!  A lot of the those far-reaching NW suburbs are less urban than close-in with nothing to walk to.

I think, perhaps, OP is talking more along the lines of the urban center.[/quote]
Most DCPS schools that are bursting at the seams happen to draw from neighborhoods that are quite suburban in nature.[/quote]

Trying to stay out of this argument because it happens weekly, but: not in our neighborhood. We live on Capitol Hill and many of the schools are full to capacity or even over-full. And we are definitely not suburban.[/quote]

Those are not very good schools, maybe they will improve later.[/quote]
