[quote=Anonymous]I have made the decision to move too for pretty much the same reasons and the blizzard is again underscoring what I feel we miss here (my DH would be happy to live at the end of a dirt road reachable by ATV's). The thing is I have lots of friends one neighborhood over but all through the blizzard I had major FOMO, getting text invites that I could not walk the 1/2mile to (in worse part of storm.) It is Halloween too - we are the outer edge of a neighborhood so while there are lots of kids - none on our street (like yours - 75% of houses have 80plus yo and the only people we see are the health care workers. I get so sad to the point of tears that DD lost the gift of close by friends once the one on-the-street family moved away: her truly bff. We don't go to the local ES so that adds to breech. My only regret about moving would be losing our neighborhood pool. We get equity (finally!) this summer and can keep going but it will be just far enough away we probably won't go. FWIW I did live on the 'perfect' block before this house (we were renting and once we were ready to buy we could not afford the 2mil homes esp w/o company housing subsidy) but that magical grouping of friends have almost all moved so those perfect enclaves - especially in the DMV - can change. I will move for the hope of friendly neighbors but underpin it with other attributes I value. We had been looking for our dream house in our desired neighborhoods - now we are looking for our OK This Will Do place. Life is too short to not have at least the possibility of nearby friends. MOVE - I will do ever thing I can to make this happen for myself this year.[/quote]
