[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We'll retire in DC, as empty nesters don't need much space nor want to spend remaining life to maintain/furnish/repair/clean/upgrade it. We'll shed the car in favor of public transport and Uber or Zip car.

Our goal is smaller footprint and [b]urban lifestyle with shopping, cafe, museums, zoo, arboretum and parks, protests, live music etc, also three airports nearby to fly out, mountains and water within reach, [/b]Alexandria and Annapolis near by, bus to NYC.[/quote]

Have you lived anywhere else in decades?  DC has good walkability but the parks, restaurants, live music and shopping are very limited. I will give you museums but can’t say much for the zoo.  Even saying shopping is odd since most shopping here is limited to CVS.  There isn’t even a decent department store!

Mountains and water?  Closest beaches aren’t great and are crowded.  Mountains are okay but hardly the Rocky Mountains or somewhere like Vermont.

When I read a post like yours I assume you have no clue that DC isn’t that great. Most people are only in DC for work.  [/quote]

Did you miss "protests?" Tells you all you need to know. No ability to think outside their very narrow mind.[/quote]
