Can native DC residents share their thoughts and experience, especially those who have lived there for a long time? We are considering a move into  DC due to work. [/quote]

Well, I guess you can move to Columbia, MD and still "be here for work" as long as you don't have to go into downtown every day?

Most of the "cities" that are even in the top 50 are not "real" cities compared to the big cities which are all slammed at the bottom of this list but have great, good, mediocre, and bad areas to live in them while those areas also have world class amenities that you're just not gonna find in ... Scottsdale AZ or Tallahassee FL.[/quote]
