[quote=Anonymous]The good aspects of DC as a city are very different from large cities like NYC or London. It doesn't have the kind of 24/7 energy that comes with millions of people from everywhere living together. Nor does it have a significant amount of creative industries. It does, however, have a lot of breathing room, green space and human-scale size and some cute historic neighborhoods. The crime is pretty bad here tho - I feel much more susceptible to becoming a victim here than I ever did in those other cities. We lived in Logan circle when we first moved here but moved to a close-in burb with good schools and walkable to metro and other stuff not long after. Logan circle was ok - probably the most "urban" vibe that DC could offer but it still felt kinda weak. More like a shiny retail version of urban vibrancy but without any of the non-consumption-based fundamentals that make an urban area interesting. [/quote]
