[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moved from DC and couldn't wait to leave - though I admittedly teared up at the airport.

Reasons I did not like living in DC:

1) [u]COST[/u].  My salary goes way, way further in Texas.  I bought a nice home in a neighborhood with good schools in the city for about a fourth of what I would I would have to pay in DC..
2) The type of person drawn to DC.  Lots of type A personalities who thought they were Very Important.  I did not like the competitive types who felt like they had to walk all over other people to advance themselves.   Let your work speak for itself.  I do miss people who are knowledgeable about world events and politics. That is harder to come by here.
3)  Lack of community.  Though I had a fair number of friends there since I did live there for quite a while, DC just felt like a very transient city.  It felt like home base until it didn't and then I was ready to go and didn't feel like there was much keeping me there.

This is my point. I feel like all 3 of your points do not apply to us, which I guess would explain why we are happy here. We live in a really nice, welcoming nova suburb. Our house is nice and affordable to us. We are very happy so far with the schools and feel we have a very strong community. I 100% admit this is not possible in many area near/in DC. But for us it has been great.[/quote]
