[quote=Anonymous]Our family moved to DC from the NYC suburbs a couple of years ago. We moved for work (naturally!) but really do like it here. Manhattan is so dark with all of the skyscrapers - like walking through endless tunnels. I prefer the openness of DC. I also really like the international flavor of DC. Even in NYC I didn't have contact with the variety of people from different cultures that I do here. I don't find the COL in DC to be as bad as everyone says, but I'm sure that's because New York is even worse.

On the other hand, DC has its drawbacks. It does lack the artistic vibrance and energy of some other cities, including NYC. Things close up much earlier here than in other cities I've been to. I love the Metro and take it all the time, but it closes too early for my taste. The DC suburbs are pretty ugly and bland too. The old housing stock exists, but it's in demand. Most folks like in nondescript boxes. Also, as others have said, DC isn't close enough to the ocean for me. Three hours is a lot of travel to reach a real beach; Annapolis and Harpers Ferry are growing on me, though.[/quote]
