[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My main issues are:

1.  The weather - too hot and humid too much of the year.  I like crisp weather, and I like cold weather.
2.  The distance from the ocean or for that matter, any natural bodies of water.
3.  The lack of character in the suburbs.

I'm not a hater.  I just think DC is very expensive for what it is.[/quote]

So the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers are artificial. Got it.[/quote]

They are not swimmable, nor do they have beaches.  Nor do they give vistas of water for as far as the eye can see.[/quote]

But what was said was "The distance from the ocean[b] or for that matter, any natural bodies of water[/b]", not if they were "swimmable".[/quote]

Oh, ok, you're right - now we all love DC.

But seriously: I think we have great nature a short distance away - I go hiking many weekends of the year, and am thrilled with all the different options. But - I dunno. I feel like if I could spend six months of the year somewhere else, I'd be really psyched to be here the other six months of the year. I really don't hate DC at all. But I don't want to spend my whole life here, since I'm not here just six months of the year. It's too expensive/I'm too broke and the winters are too cold.

I can deal with the weather but if the COL came down, then life would be easier for all of us. If only...[/quote]
