[quote=Anonymous]Inside the beltway is better. There is a ton of great food in NOVA, I don't know what that previous poster is talking about. I live in Western FFX bc our jobs are out here and I hate that its ALL the traffic, and expense of living closer in without the 'cool' factor of stuff to do, walk to, see etc. I guess if you are the kind that would prefer to be closer to the wineries and breweries and that's more your scene on weekends its actually great. I'd rather do that once in a while and drive out there than have to take a 45 minute uber to see a concert in town.

I DO think a lot of people who post in these threads are very, very caught up in the idea of their identity being a "city" person instead of a suburbs person (they will prattle on and on about their families value, etc)- but DC is largely suburban too, so some of that is just people feeling the need to put a label on themselves and of course its nicer to choose the cool one. My neighborhood has a lot of transplants, lots of us have lived abroad for work or are immigrants- I'm not a different person living in this house in Fairfax than I was in Tokyo or HK- its just where I lived. People are too quick to make this their identity. The truth is most people can be happy in lots of different situations. I also think there are the DC bashers on here that are like annoying squeaky wheels. most people in this area don't think the burbs are awesome but the city sucks- those are just the loudest of these types.[/quote]
