DC number 1? Â Honolulu even being on the list? Â Sounds like questionable data analysis.Dusty wrote:Omaha was ranked #8 for best cities for families. Des Moines ranked #5 and Lincoln, NE was ranked #19.

Washington is a great place for families if you make 250k and can afford to send your kids to private schools. I'm wondering if they're considering metro area. I wouldn't raise a family in the District---the public schools are lousy; it's become a city of the rich and poor. Most of the 'burbs, though, have excellent schools, low crime, and a diverse population from all over the world---kids are exposed to a lot of cultures and experiences.

Great town. Â If you are rich. Â If you are active duty military on base housing. Â Otherwise, housing is very expensive, and jobs are tight. Â Add in the racial animosity that exists in some segments, and it can be less than a top ten experience. Â Ask any of the homeless beach dwelllers.TitosBuritoBarn wrote:What's wrong with Honolulu?

From the DC Description
Seriously? Â Who the eff takes out a lawn chair to watch a Delta flight take off??? Â That's quality of life? Â Hahahahahaha...If your kid enjoys visiting the National Air and Space Museum, imagine fostering his love of airplanes with trips to nearby Gravelly Point Park for front-seat views of the takeoffs and landings at Reagan National Airport.
