[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The folks we know who moved entirely out of the area are happy/happier. The people we know who moved to MCPS or Arlington/Alexandria are not happier, and some are very unhappy. Those school systems have their own issues, and the suburbs here are kind of terrible compared to making a high lifestyle change (eg moving to Colorado or New England). [/quote]

This is similar to the folks I have known who left Cap Hill.  Moving to the close in suburbs is fine at best but it doesn't solve all your problems and sometimes creates new ones...[/quote]

wherever you go, there you are. If you don't like the DC area, moving from Cap Hill to Bethesda is not going to solve that problem. If you hate DC weather, Bethesda won't solve that problem. But if you don't get into a school that works for your kid off the lottery and the Bethesda schools are a better fit, the move will make your life more workable.  But yeah, I'd be surprised if a move to the inner suburbs was going to completely change someone's life -- it just isn't that big of a change. That does not mean that people regret moving though. I was happy on the Hill and I'm happy in the inner suburbs. [/quote]
