[quote=Anonymous]I've lived here for my entire adult life (came here for college) and I love it.  What I do not love: the housing costs to live close-in and the commuting.  After 12 years of commuting from Fairfax, I bought in North Arlington, so my commute is now a 10-minute drive to park near metro, then a 20-ish-minute ride downtown.  I find Metro mostly reliable and pleasant.

There are some rude people, of course, but I find the majority of people I meet to be pretty decent.  Some are nicer than others.  I'm from the midwest and I don't notice a significant difference between the two in terms of friendliness, to be honest.  If you're nice to people here, they will generally be nice to you.

I love the cultural opportunities here, how much there is to see and do, and how quickly you can get to other places (mountains, ocean) when you want to.  Downside is that there are a lot of people trying to do the same things you are, so stuff can get crowded.  And for kid activities, you have to be pretty on-your-game because stuff fills up.[/quote]
