[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t deal well with crowds or too much noise, so no. Even the DC area is more crowded that I really prefer.[/quote]

I live next to a park in NYC. I am also noise sensitive and hate crowds. I love my neighborhood and NYC. That's the advantage of a huge city - you can live many different ways. You can find a way that suits your needs. You can go out to dinners, parties and concerts every night, or never. You can send your kids to  a neighborhood public school, or to a gifted & talented charter school, or to a traditional/progressive/co-ed/single sex/uptown/downtown/Brooklyn private school. There are many, many choices for a lifestyle in a city unlike in the suburbs, where life is more or less the same for everyone. [/quote]

I am sensitive to noise and I think many parts of DC are worse noise wise than NYC due to the height limitations and the proliferation of central HVAC systems that create noise. I think it is easier to find a quiet apartment on the UWS than in Dupont circle.[/quote]
