[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, people leave the dc heat and humidity behind by heading to nearby lakes, beaches, mountains, etc.

People also hop on planes or set out on road trips each summer.

Overall, I like having 4 real seasons. [/quote]

And in some cities, you don't have to have a beach house or fly somewhere to be able to enjoy year-round outdoor activities. That's the point.  DC may have a lot to recommend it, but access to great outdoor opportunities year-round is not really it.  I do appreciate that we have a long temperate season from Feb - June. But the summer is just unbearable.  [/quote]

And also to just explain more - for people in a truly outdoorsy culture/place, it's not about going on a week-long road trip in the summer, or driving to an equally crowded and humid lake spot in August. It's being in a place where you can hike, bike, or swim after work every day if you want.  [/quote]
Right. But doesnt work in the city/coast where people work longer hours and dont usually prize getting outdoors as often as possible. Its just different lifesyles. (On average, there are workaholics everywhere qnd hard core outdoorsmen both places too). I have coworkers in DC (eith and witout kids) that bring their mountain bikes in and then take off at 2 PM on random days and drive out to trails. [/quote]
