[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The educated are long gone from DC. As well as anyone with any common sense.  [/quote]

So strange how Americans hate their cities.  Since cities are really social hubs where people come together for work and culture, it really reflects how much Americans despise each other.[/quote]

We specifically moved to DC from a higher cost of living city (NY) and wanted the walkability, amenities and convenience of a city without the massive COL increase. We like it here because can still live in a city and have a house with a garden and yet still be steps from everything. Our street is quiet and the neighbors are friendly. Our kid goes to the local school, which has saved us $$$ so far vs private in NY. A lot of people moving in and out, predictably as jobs change, but also a lot of long-term residents and a surprising amount of retirees who just like being able to walk to everything without being stuck in a retirement community in the suburbs. I think people on forums make a lot of noise, but it's different from the reality. And I like to think that we are educated. :)

We did the suburb thing for 10 years and it wasn't for us, but a lot of people like it, especially if having a spacious home and plenty of parking is a high priority.[/quote]
