[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Are there any conservative enclaves? Any place known for kooky leftists (that my wife could hang with?) I don't imagine us being married lesbians would bother anyone. I suspect that my wife would take the edge off some of her socialist views once she starts paying some socialist taxes, but who knows, she's very good at rationalizing her arguments.  [/quote]

Con enclaves: The thing you'll notice in DC moving from other cities is that there are different kinds of cons here.  In NYC you'll get a lot of the selfish, money-in-my-own-pocket damn-society conservatives.  I can even understand them and where they come from; they're usually rational and educated, even if selfish.  In DC you have some of those (but fewer) but you get the crazy ideologues - conservatives parachuted in from Liberty U and Koch jobs where they learn that democrats are evil and the government does 'violence' against people and the only way to fix the country is to donate to Jay Sekulow's 'charity', work for Scott Walker and condemn Drudge for being a bleeding heart.

All the really crazy-insane conservative outlets are on the VA side - Koch, Scaife, Scott Walker's outfit, Paul Ryan's outfit, etc are all in Alexandria.  So most people in Alexandria are normal, but you'll get some of the rightwing ideologue types.

Kooky leftists: Takoma Park as others have said.

Do you want to live in an urban neighborhood or drive places?  What are you used to?[/quote]
