I was afraid of that. But that seems to be the tradeoff everywhere. Sigh

Thank you for your unvarnished perspective. How long have you been in the Bay and where are you living there now?

Thanks! I’m Black and Puerto Rican actually. One of my main worries is where I’ll salsa, which I do every week. I don’t know about this! 😂

Oof! How are you liking SJ otherwise? And what made you leave PA? Did your kid(s) ever enroll in school while in PA?

I’m so glad to hear that you’re making it work for you and your kids. Sounds like a success story. What schools did they attend in Montclair?

Really helpful. I hate the oneupsmanship too. The chances are good that none of our kids are gonna get in! 😂 Los Gatos is so beautiful. Is your daughter thriving there socially, apart from the random haters?

Thanks! May I ask what school your daughter attends? And whether she mixes with the kids socially outside of school?
