[quote=Anonymous]^^^ And, to further complicate matters, our choices within dc all seem to revolve around our child having LESS independence than they would in a nearby walkable suburb. In moco, they'd take the school bus by themselves. If we lived in silver spring, they'd be one of hundreds of kids I see walking alone--and not an outlier, trekking a mile through deserted residential streets. This city is not friendly to its children. The metro is burning, crime is up, and there's not even crossing guards, let alone police, monitoring anything. Its depressing--at ten, I was taking myself across my city to magnet school and now, at ten, my child can't even walk four blocks. See you in silver spring .[/quote]
