[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I could do it all over again, I would have moved out of this area a while ago, into a better school system far from DMV area. Alas, I can't uproot my family now that we have some roots in DC. We are paying for private for the rest of our kids' education (probably private for college at this trajectory). We're very happy with our private option, but I still can't believe all the angst about schools we've put up with to live in DC and the money we will be spending for a decent education.[/quote]

+100. Right there with you. We aren't going anywhere, as my DS is almost through HS and we love our neighborhood/school/church/house; but I don't love DC anymore and haven't for a long time. I can't even recall why we were so intent years ago on staying in the city.
Perhaps I'll feel differently once my husband and I are empty nesters and then retired. But especially right now, with the increase in crime, I'm over it. [/quote]

You know, the increase in crime doesn't end at the border.  There's plenty in Silver Spring, Takoma Park and other places in Maryland and Virginia.  [/quote]

There is crime everywhere but if you seriously think there is as much crime in burbs as in DC, you are delusional.  I say this as a DC resident who have friends and families who live in surrounding MD and VA.

The crime has gotten out of control in the city and add that all the pot smokers and huge spiked in juvenile crime, the city has gone downhill since the pandemic.  It’s just sad.

I love living in the city and have for the past 16 years but I don’t see the crime improving anywhere in the near future and combined with much better schools, we are considering moving to the burbs if the school situation we want does not work out.[/quote]
