[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us the #1 reason was money. We could afford to buy a 4 bed home in the burbs. While we could have all crammed into our 2 bed 1 bath in the city, it would have been uncomfortable. Second reason was proximity to kid friendly stuff and a neighborhood that is safe and walkable for kids. We can’t walk to cool restaurants and bars where we live but our kids can easily and safely walk to school, the pool, and parks. [/quote] For us, it wasn’t even money. Raising a family in DC with more than one kid is just rough in a rowhouse. Nowhere for them to play, the schools and the lottery system. And now with the increase in crime in the city, the suburbs are just a no-brainer. I couldn’t fathom raising my kids in DC now. It’s too much. [/quote]
