So this is an anti-Covid precautions sort of post?

OK, well in that case you'd be looking to move to more Republican areas of the country.

I just wonder at your intentions, asking here on DCUM, OP. Surely you can figure out where the Republican areas are in the USA?

Unless you're just a troll, stirring up shite

Huh. Interesting. Moore County?

I haven’t seen stats indicating tons of deaths there. The military seems to be pretty compliantly with the vaccine in spite of court decisions.

Oh, sweet Jebus, Vermont is a hotbed of "MAGAy"

Most kids and parents on their block have had COVID 2-3 times. Some ofrom COVID. Most of the neighbors still refused to get vaf the kids now have really bad recurring health problems from COVID. Two of the SAHMs on their block have died from COVID while unvaccinated.

In fact, you should switch homes with my sister. They are looking to move to the DMV.

Curious. Is this population there generally on the obese side?

Nope. Mostly active duty military dads + SAHMs, plus military retirees. Dads all got vaccinated at the threat of losing their jobs, but still waited until the last minute. MAGA AF in their neighborhood. No diversity.

Two years in, with the harshest restrictions put on our children with no end in sight, I really want to move. DC has changed, in my mind. The economy is dead. The energy of the city is dead. The kids are zombie sheep with no resilience or social skills because of the mandates imposed on them, if they're not also struggling academically and emotionally.

I'm just scared it will never change or turn around, and more open, less politically charged areas are calling to me.

I'm just wondering if others feel the same?

Are you sure you don't have PPD? I mean, this is a bit much. "The kids are zombie sheep..."?? Like, what? Whose kids? My kids and my friends' kids are doing just fine. They are not suffering. Maybe the children who are less fortunate and born into poverty, yes, they are struggling and we should help them. But generally people who post on DCUM aren't in this boat.

The city is dead to you because you have 2 small children and are probably drowning in the day-in/day-out childcare routine. This isn't going to change if you move somewhere else; when your kids are older, life will be easier. The pandemic will also ease in a year or two. DC has a lot to offer, but you sound like your judgment is clouded right now and/or you are depressed.

I'd wait a bit to make any major life decisions.

In dc?

Maybe in fking Southern Maryland.

Look the truth is I am a socially liberal person. Abortion is okay, we should legalize drugs and prostitution and we should probably do lots of liberal things and love Gay people and all that stuff.

At the same time, we have an uuuuuber liberal city council intent on implementing woke policy that sucks. Yes, woke. I said the verboten word.

It’s woke because of people like Charles Allen who in the face of rising crime looks away and blames everything on systemic racism, for which much blame schools be ascribed, but he also does it too much. People have free will not to car jack, murder or rape. When we have a city council that lowers criminal penalties all while crime rises we have a problem. Charles Allen is a wet blanket who wastes millions of violence interruptors for which the majority of studies show don’t work or even increase crime. We need police.

The youth rehab act, second chance act, teens getting a slap on the wrist and released for violent crime, we have liberal da’s like Racine who push liberal nonsense and restorative justice and all this does is degrade safety and increase decampment to the suburbs. When you basically sympathize with the criminal perpetrators more than the actual tax paying victims who live in places like Hill East you have a fking problem.

Except for Austin and San Antonio, why would anyone want to move to TX or FL. Those states offer nothing.

Go move to rural'ish NC, where my sister + husband + kids are the only vaccinated family on the block.

I feel very similarly. My problem is that I'd like to move to an area with good public schools; the nearest is Moco, and they are just as bad in terms of their anxiety about covid (in relation to schools). So that means Virginia, and I would hate the commute.

You realize the restrictions (that are mostly lifted at this point) are there to protect your kid, who is not able to be vaccinated. But sure, go off to some anti-vax area and expose your kid. No skin off my nose.

Thinking about moving to Vermont. Too MAGAy around here.

Yes! We are actively looking to move now, after decades here. It is worse than the 80s and will not get better. Washington elites and grifter developers have a stranglehold. There is no hope for this city. We're getting out now while we can still break even on the NW DC house we bought 20 years ago.
