[quote=Anonymous]I'm a native Californian and have been living in LA since 1998. I'm on the Westside.

A couple of years ago, we lived in N. Arlington for a couple years--we knew it was temporary and that we were going back to LA, and now we are back.

So, I loved Arlington.  Before and after our Virginia experience, I live/lived in a neighborhood that looks like Arlington, but here, to have that kind of neighborhood, you have to make a lot more money.  So in Arlington, our neighbors ranged from working professionals to tree trimmers and some military etc.  I loved my neighbors and the parents in our kids' Catholic elementary.  The neighborhood was definitely nanny-light or nonexistent. In my neighborhood in LA, my neighbors are in finance or entertainment and there are a lot of nannies and housekeepers.

I had a very hard time with the weather in VA, but you are coming from the east and so probably used to functioning when it is too cold/too hot/too muggy, so get ready to be blown out by great weather and not sweating in your non-workout clothes.

I'm assuming your DC is in college out here.  If your youngest will need to finish up school out here, lmk and I can discuss high schools which are different than Virginia

I loved that VA was purple so politicians actually care about outcomes and voters have a say.  In contrast, California is a one-party state, and LA is also one-party, so no matter what elected officials do, they will not be held accountable.  So that is a problem as they just proclaim things and decide things--some insane things! --and we really can't do anything to redirect them.  The problem isn't Democrat control; it would be the same if it were Republicans.  The problem is one-party total and complete dominance which leads to unaccountability.

Where would you like to live?  What school is your DC in?[/quote]
