[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really, how late do you need to stay up? My DH goes to sleep between 10:30 and 11, is up at 5:30, and out the door by 6:30.

Many of us live in the exurbs BECAUSE WE LIKE IT. We don't want to live closer in, and either have jobs out here or are willing to commute a little more to live here. If you want the city life, then enjoy it! But the thought that everyone who lives in the suburbs or exurbs has the desire to live in DC or even in the close-in areas in absurd.

Sheesh, if the sedentary lifestyle and stress-filled commute doesn't kill you, the lack of sleep will.

Because working 60+ hours a week and living in a 'gentrifying' (i.e. crime-ridden) neighborhood is absolutely un-stressful. [/quote]

Who works 60+ hours a week? And if you think gentrifying neighborhoods are "crime-ridden" enough to be stressful, you've been watching too much TV.  Most of the folks I know in town work about 35 hours a week, work from home, and meet up for 2 hour lunches a couple of times a week. And on the rare occasion that someone gets shot at 2 am a few blocks away, it makes for interesting cocktail banter.

You seem to have a really weird conception of what life in the city is like.[/quote]
You seem to have a really weird conception of what constitutes the city since the majority of DC proper residents are utterly unfamiliar with the lifestyle you describe.[/quote]
