[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Large cities are not known for having great school systems or for being affordable living with kids. Too many other competing interests and people without children who don't care. Also, they are often very transient places. DC has actually become a lot better over the past 10 years. Before then, most people wouldn't even consider staying in DC for the school years.[/quote] Exactly this. It's about priorities. And the reality is that raising a family in a city requires trade-offs. Not everyone is willing to make those trade offs, or stick around to fight a dysfunctional government and entrenched status quo interests to try and make it better. For me, I expect that the people my taxes employ to run decent schools will do their jobs. I shouldn't have to work a full time job while raising a family AND spent countless hours as an activist to ensure that my kid can go to a decent school. [/quote]
