[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived in an affluent part of DC for several years, but even there it seemed we could never feel completely safe. My wife had a couple of scary incidents where sketchy guys were following her on her walks (once with baby stroller!) and she had to either start running or one time she actually ran into a starbucks to get away. That was the last straw and we have had no problems in NoVA. [/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for your responses, everyone; I appreciate your honest and it seems like the majority of you are pretty happy with your move.

The quote above is my biggest reason for wanting to move as well.  [b]Pretty much everyone I know in DC has a similar story or two.  [/b]

I agree with the people who said that Arlington and Bethesda are bland and sterile; I like the old architecture in DC, but even that's being torn down, but I don't think it justifies dropping mad money in an area where I'm uncomfortable.  I will say to the "nosy neighbor" PP that I DEFINITELY have that in DC in spades, haha![/quote]

OP, where do people you know live in DC?  I live in upper NW near MD line and I've never been followed, nor had any other scary incidents.  Those types of incidents are as rare in our neighborhood as I imagine they are 5 min away in MD.[/quote]
