> People with kids who move from the city to the suburbs/exurbs are doing their kids a disservice (all else equal; obviously there are some compensating advantages in moving from say a 1-bedroom apartment to a 3-bedroom house on a large lot). The kids generally end up dependent, immobile, and isolated.

LOL. My kid was incredibly isolated when we lived in DC because there were no other families.

DC is chock full of families, with a birth rate above the national average.

Just because you were living in a neighborhood full of 20-something yuppies or retirees or whoever, that doesn’t mean there are no kids in the city.

Or maybe you just felt culturally alienated from the families with kids in DC, most of whom are less wealthy than yourself?
