There's absolutely no comparison between DC and West Coast when it comes to weather. In many places on the west coast, you can be outdoors year-round, whereas we have months in DC when you could literally die from a heat stroke. It's kind of sad to think that being limited to going out at 6am and dusk are anyone's idea of a city with great access to outdoor activities and nature.  I'll say it again - people who live here literally don't know what they are missing.  [/quote]

This whole thread makes me laugh.

I lived in Silicon Valley for five years.  Yes, the weather is amazing year round.  But I could not wait to get back to the mid Atlantic!  I love having four seasons.  I love the cities and energy and people and nature and beaches and bays and trees and activities and history and all of it.

I'm glad I lived in California for a few years when I was younger.  I know some people love it and can't imagine living anywhere else.  I hope those people continue to love it!  
In the meantime, I'm sitting on my deck looking at the river, and can't imagine living anywhere else either.

I mean yeah, if you’re wealthy enough to have a view of the potomac from your house, I’m sure it’s nice. [/quote]

But pretty much everyone with a house here at least can have a lovely, lush, green yard with tall trees that's just gorgeous.  You should see most of the yards in Los Angeles, for example, or most of the west coast. Just so dumpy and brown everywhere.  The biggest tree being a palm tree [/quote]

I have a lovely back patio with a beautiful tree, which is completely unusable from June - late Sept due to mosquitoes. [/quote]

Unusable how and to who?  The vast majority of humans thrive in such an environment, and mosquitoes are simply a reality of life.  But pay for it to be fenced in if you're really so fragile. [/quote]
