[quote=Anonymous]This is not exclusive to DC. At least you can try to get a space with the lottery. Where I grew up, 30% of the kids attend private (as did I) and everyone's parents sacrificed for it. I was told when I moved here a few years ago, you can have 2 of the following 3, but not all: affordable housing, a good school district, and a short commute. But you can't have all 3. There are people who sacrifice and commute like crazy because they think the schools in the burbs are worth it; that's their choice to have the big house at the decent price. We decided to live in a smaller space in a great school district and are better for it. My point is, there are options -- private schools, public schools in the burbs and exurbs, cheaper housing with a drive. If you want the city life, it comes with a cost, unfortunately. [/quote]
