This. I don't want to move but I'm just being realistic. Our IB has not handed Covid well at all, and is so-so during non-Covid times. We have never had luck with the lottery. Housing prices in DC are insane -- I don't see us being able to afford a place with a better IB school unless we move our family of 3 into a one-bedroom apartment. Cost of living in the city is still as high as ever, but staying in the city to keep our commutes short may not be an issue if our work stays remote or starts offering more generous WFH policies.

We like the city but there are always trade-offs and if the school situation doesn't improve and we don't have to be here for work, it's increasingly unclear if those trade-offs are worth it. We won't make any rash decisions and won't move before things reopen. But we're ready to move the minute the scales tip that direction. And it's much closer than it used to be.[/quote]
