[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I will be coming to visit and scout, and find a place to live. That is excellent advice.

I grew up in the SF Bay Area, and have lived in NJ, Manitoba, S. and N. California, tiny town in Ohio, Montana, Seattle, Boulder, and now Boise. I have travelled (alone, in remote areas) in Latin America, the Middle East, SE Asia, and Europe. I'm not falling off a potato truck with blinders on.  I recognize DC will be a HUGE change from Boise, especially now that I am a mom. We will most certainly be out of our comfort zone.  I agree, and would bet good money that people really are a whole lot nicer in Boise (despite the abhorrent conservative/religious politics).

But there are nice people EVERYWHERE. You've just got to find them. There are, no doubt, other single moms in DC who are looking for community. I'm willing to give and take. Let's trade playdates and give each other a break. Let's back each other up in case of emergency.

I'm kindof curious to those of you who are SO negative about the area. Why are you still there?

Honestly, love and care for the people around you and some of that love will come back to you. [/quote]
