Most of the input from folks who have lived there, on this board and in real life, has been "do not go."  I do take that to heart.

Today I found a rent-controlled apartment (for us poor folk!). It's really nice , only 1 BR but the BR is huge and the total apt is over 900 sf and MOST importantly it has washer-dryer in unit. 1 BR really would be fine, as the kids end up in bed with me most nights anyways. It is easily walkable to the job. So then the major unknown is if the 3 year old gets into PreK. She would have priority given her sister would be enrolled, but no guarantee. And that is a huge leap of faith.  But if she did, I'd argue it would be do-able.  Tight, yes.

I do agree with the speech therapist who chimed in that giving up the language intensive preschool would be tough. I wouldn't dream of it except that she is doing so well. Of course, part of why she is doing so well is all the therapies she gets.

Considering I haven't exhausted job options here, and there is good potential for more freelance work, I may just stay put. I'll let you know what I decide.
