[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I'm a DC native, fellow Catholic now living in south Orange County not too far from Newport Beach.  Look at Our Lady Queen of Angels. Has a great reputation.

Hi! Thanks for writing. I fell in love with Newport after a few short hours. Feeling like the DMV is getting too crazy for me. (It feels as though the population became ultra progressive overnight.) How would you say living in Newport is vs DC socially? As liberal or more conservative? Do you feel challenged intellectually, or do you ever feel bored? I love the coast line and the hills, but I am not used to so much sprawl having been in MD suburbs for 30+ years. Looking for a quiet, wholesome place to raise my kids, away from the noise of the ultra left. Is it possible to achieve there, or is it just a fantasy of mine? Thanks. [/quote]

PP here.  I've always been politically moderate, pretty much down the middle. The population in Newport is more conservative than lets say Costa Mesa, or Laguna Beach, but there is a good mix here, and you'll be very happy here and fit right in.... mostly because folks here are accepting of everyone and politics are not at top of everyone's conversation day in and day out.  No one cares who you vote for, and very few people discuss such things. Life here is about being outside, on the beach, hiking, and just enjoying life and the passage of time.  Now I will say that there is a lack of museums like what you have in DC. As I said I am a DC native and we went to the Smithsonian almost every weekend when I was a kid, and as an adult I still enjoyed doing that well into my early 40's until we moved here. So that is the one thing I miss  - but you can't have it all.  And not that we don't have those types of educational opportunities, they're just not The Kennedy Center, National Portrait Gallery, Hirshhorn etc. you get the picture.  If you want that, you just go to LA for the day.   [/quote]
