VA is against everything I believe in.

Liberals outnumber Republicans in Fairfax County, for those that are not familiar with that.

DC people are 90-plus percent Democrats, would like a similar situation. My gut feeling is sense of similarity.

Clueless much? For one, NoVa is decidedly blue, not red. With respect to schools however, I agree that VA isn't the Shangrila some are hoping for (including MoCo). Class size has swelled and in Fairfax, teacher salary has shrunk. We have a nationwide crisis with waiting for Superman. Not just in DC Proper.

We are planning to move to N Arlington if DC schools don't work out. Both for the vibe (bethesda too fancy for us), the commute, and the better state university system. Am I happy about living in the land of men in brown flip flops? No. But I will do it if I have to.

Arlington county doesn't have its own state government and case law

Boundaries change more frequently than presidents in NoVa.

There is lots of talk about people moving to moco if these boundary proposals happen, but why is nobody talking about moving to Virginia? That was actually our first reaction bc I keep hearing the negatives about moco schools.
