I feel the same way. I'm sure it exists but I've never experienced it.

There are soooo many things I’m never going to miss about this area. The people, the weather, the traffic, the people, the taxes, the people, the cost of living, the people, the competitive drama, the people, the people, the people....

Can’t wait to move to America.


This is a joke. DC has some of the best weather in this country. It is almost insulated from most major natural disasters.

Agree, the traffic can die. And the cost of living. Ugh. Yes, the people. I am a pp on another thread that commented about the fact that you shouldn't ask questions here. People.

I love the DC area and I had great friends. I'm not anti-DC people in the slightest.

We had to move away two years ago to the Midwest for job reasons. I had bought into all the inside beltway snobbery and was terrified of the flyover states and Republicans (lol). I had lived in DC for 20 years.

It's actually been really good here. The people are nice, things are convenient, the schools are good, and real estate prices are lower. The Republicans are fine and the vast majority of them are not remotely crazy.

I've learned some lessons, I suppose. Don't be a total snot is one of them.

STFU with the “real America” vs “fake America” crap.


You sound nice


However, promoting the "real America v. fake America" attitude is kind of how we've gotten to this truly rotten, divisive place we are in history. So the STFU poster may not have been super refined with their request not to propagate this divisiveness, but they are not off-base with their sentiment.



It’s a little too late to call out divisiveness and start preaching com’by’yah now that you’ve won an election, after having spent the last five years calling half the country deplorables.

So I’m good with division. Let’s just keep it this way.


Don't worry PP, there will never be any unity with Trumpets and Qs. We all wish you'd leave and start your own country of white supremacists and antivaxxers.

Eh, if you are tired of the rat race, make new friends. Move out of your uppity ridiculous neighborhood and into one where blue collar workers live. Send your kids to schools that aren't 80%+ white.

Most of the things people complain about DC are a small section of what's here. Like any major city, there's enormous variety in cultures and people, you just have to seek it out.

Traffic remains no matter what though.

I would never want the people here to follow me to someplace else.
