[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if you moved - did anyone decided to move to a more 'laid-back' city which still had the urban aspects of DC?

I've been considering San Francisco, CA and Charleston, SC - but they both have drawbacks, mainly in the fact that the downtown historic districts that everyone is drawn to also happens to be as expensive or even more so than DC is. Charleston is in line with DC prices if a little lower and San Francisco is markedly higher.

So is there a city or a small town that meets that criteria (assuming I can live anywhere)? Where would you live that has a vibrant downtown walkable district, high-end retail, organic grocery options, and friendly people?[/quote]

Moved to LA and it is way more laid back with wayyyyyyy more amenities.  [b]The fact that anyone would even be excited about walking to a Starbucks strikes me as comical-[/b] now it's my turn to sound like a snob, but when I moved in to my house the girl who leased it to me was very apologetic that there was only a Starbucks and one other coffee shop/bakery within walking distance.   :lol:  It's not even comparable, the kind of amazing restaurants, cultural opportunities, and shops that LA has in comparison to DC.

I'm still thinking of moving somewhere smaller.  The delusion that people have who say DC is some kind of end all-be all suggests to me that they aren't particularly well travelled.  On the list of amazing American cities, DC wouldn't even make my top 10.  I don't think it's the worst place a person could live... but it's certainly nothing to write home about. [/quote]

No one said this is exciting.  Posters were making fun of DC fans and claimed the people who like DC think walking to Starbucks is cool.  [/quote]
