[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm here just to get enough experience on my resume and gtfo.  DC is horrendously overpriced and you can now work 100% (or close to it) remotely.   I'll still be able to make big city money and live elsewhere with half the sticker price, which means an even greater increase in standard of living as compared to paying $700k for a POS hole in the wall abode in this area.  The older I get the less I give two craps about the latest fancy schmancy restaurant, cafe with $8 lattes, or the 10000th iteration of a craft cocktail/beer bar.  And you'd be dead wrong assuming that there aren't other places in the country that are fun.  Boise Idaho is quite hopping town with incredible nature and outdoor activities.  Ohio has far lower cost of living and cities like Columbus have a lot of stuff to do.  The best new restaurant in America was also just voted by Bon Appetite......and it was located in Tulsa.   What is really irksome are the presumptions people in this area have about three rest of the country.  Actually that goes for most big city folk. I get the politics aspect, but ironically, the best way to improve that is to actually leave city liberal echo chambers and to spread out.  However, there are lots of things to do in other parts of the country where it doesn't require a million dollars to own a decent home and you can still be a short drive away from a major metropolitan area.  I can't wait to leave and save tons of money.[/quote]
