[quote=Anonymous]We tried living in a DC condo in Shaw (near Convention Center) and loved many aspects of it but ultimately moved to Del Ray because:
—With hybrid work schedules we only need to commute 1 or 2 days a week instead of 5
—Hated having neighbors clomp clomp clomping above us or deciding to host a loud party on a Wednesday the night before an important work presentation 
—mere feet from our front door people were murdered, stabbed and shot at. This really wears on your mental health to experience it time after time after time.
—Constant drug dealing a block away causing a million problems leading to the murders/shooting/stabbing above but no entity is willing/allowed to even attempt to do something about it.
—My wife orders a pair of shoes online? Stolen. I order a freaking measuring tape worth $5? Stolen.
—We can now have a small yard, safety, no noisy condo neighbors and still easily get into DC quickly for work events dinners or to watch a game. Also there are tons of great restaurants across NoVA.

We are DINKs and genuinely wanted to stay in the city but found the close-in suburbs to be a much higher quality of life.[/quote]
