[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington may be less beautiful than the rocky coast of Maine, but try making a living there.  I think Washington is one of the most beautiful cities around.  It's so green, and museums and parks are abundant.  The Potomac is a wild and scenic river just a few miles from downtown.   Having so many close-in, walkable  family-friendly neigborhoods close to downtown is also exceptional.  When I fly back to National Airport, it seems that the plane is descending into a large park.  The light and open vistas are incredible.  For that reason, I opposed the proposals of a minority to raise building height limits in DC and was glad that the DC Council overwhelmingly voted not to raise building heights.[/quote]

+1 on green

If you ever fly in and out of other metro areas, from the air DC is one of the greenest I have ever seen.[/quote]

I agree with this. I lived in Vegas for a bit (YUCK!) and my eyes would crave the green of DC. I really love it here. I've lived all over the country, and I think DC has a little bit of everything, which I really like. It's big enough, but not too big, there's enough going on, it's not too far from other cities, the mountains, the beach, the country. The weather is temperate, not nuts like the desert or the midwest. And the people are from all over the place. I also live EOTP, so I think I get a little more "DC-ness" than one might in NW. I like here. [/quote]

I agree with this. I lived for a time in Calif. and was shocked shocked to see how yellow and brown everything was, everywhere.  It was so sad to me.  (On the other hand, I was also shocked to see people with their windows wide open, with no screens.  I was like, "What do you all do about bugs?  And people told me, "We don't have bugs!!!!"  That was amazing to me. :) )

On the other hand,  I have also been in Ireland and the UK, and wow, now those are GREEEEEEEEEEEEN.  Emerald green.  Just gorgeous!!!!![/quote]
