Either you get the free pre-K in an area you don't really like or you're in an area you can't afford. Why not move out to Silver Spring, Rockville, Bowie, or even Annapolis/Frederick?
Or ... have you considered renting a TH with another single mother?
(*) I can at least understand where you're coming from. There's a higher level of crime in NE/SE -- on average -- than in NW, especially upper NW. Some on here are okay with it or even wear it as a badge of honor that their neighborhood is still rough around the edges. Or they live in a good block and don't understand it when someone moves to a bad block.

I mean seriously this is doable. Go talk to the apartment leasing agents - don't just go by websites.

I posted the rape links.
Made other arrangements not mentioned on this thread because you all just wanted to bash.
It's a really bad idea to suggest a single woman with a baby get rid of her car. ( for example: how the hell does she buy diapers? Pay the shipping premium? Have them left at the door in a shitty neighborhood? ) all the fees covering for not having a car out weigh the cost of a real car
NE DC is not safe. You people are delusional for those thoughts. Nor is living in an easily accessible basement apartment.
Your privilege really showed your ass on this thread.
Significantly disappointed in your antics and you all totally discredited yourselves.
Luckily, karma is a bitch and by the grave if God go all off you.
For the 1 Pp that tried to help thanks. My witholdings were totally wrong.
