[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdotally, a lot of my DD’s 1st grade classmates on the Hill are moving to the burbs this summer. Not sure if it’s more than usual or not (certainly more than past summers though). At least 4 of 19 in her class alone.[/quote]

This always happens.  People stay in DC to get the free preschool and then they go where they really want to raise kids. [/quote]

Exactly. These people were never going to stay anyway. They came to DC as young professionals, "played city" for a while (which was super progressive and cool), then are returning to the suburbs where they were raised themselves. [/quote]

I seriously will never understand what’s wrong with this. It’s fun and easy to live in a city when you’re young and don’t have kids. And it’s easy and nice to live in the suburbs when you do have kids. What’s so evil and wrong about this that you say it with such disdain? [/quote]

+1.  It’s a weird thing to feel resentful about.[/quote]
