There are plenty of areas in NW DC with all those amenities.[/quote]

In smaller quantities, together with lousy services and terrible public schools.

We just didn't find NW DC a particularly attractive place to raise kids.   If you have the money, you send them to a posh private school, after going through all the drama of the school acceptance process, and then they grow up in a bubble of extreme privilege.  And, even then, they aren't really exposed to the benefits of a city like New York or London.   It's ultimately a more pampered and more parochial upbringing than the suburbs.

Then don't raise them in NW DC.  Come on over to my neighborhood.  We live next to public housing [i]and[/i] my kid goes to private school after going through public elementary and middle school.  Hardly a pampered or parochial existence.

I'm not knocking Vienna at all -- just the attitude that one can only live a "pampered and parochial" upbringing in DC.  That's hilarious![/quote]
