[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both are locked and loaded with unattractive alcoholics. At least in Boston they’re funny. DC is more welcoming for transplants, minorities and homosexuals. DC summer is way more miserable than Boston winter, though that’s going to be fairly subjective.

Like any town with a decent size population, there are cool people and places to be found in each. You’re dodging government drones to do so in both cases. [/quote]

I agree in general, but personally found Boston winters far more miserable than DC summers. I felt miserable with the lack of light and the dirty ice/snow banks that don't go away for months and months make walking around unpleasant. Working class people are friendly and funny, if provincial, while the affluent are generally cold and unfriendly. My only real Boston pros: their suburbs are far more beautiful than DC ones and being waterside is wonderful. Otherwise, don't miss it at all, especially the local accent, which is incredibly annoying and grating. [/quote]

I grew up in Boston and have lived in the DC area for almost 20 yrs and totally agree with this. Especially the part about the accent :lol:

If we are just talking about location/ascetics I do think Boston has a lot more pros. As PP states being near the water, but also near the mountains of NH, VT and ME. Lots of older homes with character and historical significance. 
People wise- I find the DC area to be a lot more educated. In Boston even the educated folks act like idiot. The men all have a tough guy persona showing off their Irish and Italian pride. [/quote]
