[quote=Anonymous]To each their own. Go where your heart takes you, not to the least bad place in your mind.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, perhaps you ought to make a pro / con list and discuss moving with your family.  No one here is going to calm your nerves about the SOTU.  Our nerves are jangled, too.

But jangled or not, staying in here - or doubling down, as you put it - is a personal decision.  I, for one, lived in DC through the Mayor Barry days when we were told to boil water because it had 'fecal matter' in it.  I rented then, and I bought my first DC home after that announcement. Regardless of who is in the WH or what level of fecal matter is in the Potomac, I love DC and I have no plans to leave.

You clearly aren't as attached and so, fancy lawyer with options, you ought to do your own pro/con with your family and stop yucking our yum (not the fecal matter, of course, that is yuck ... but yum of this  stunningly beautiful city with its resilient interesting, dynamic and strong residents - its amazing metro and  exciting new arts scene on the Wharf and the renaissance of the old arts scene that will surely take place in 3 years).

Please, if you don't like it here then go!   We've got more lawyers in DC then we can shake a stick at and someone who wants to be here will take your place.  Good luck and hopefully happier days to you. [/quote]

Nearly 100 percent of my neighbors are transplants who came here for jobs. Three people on block alone are from Brooklyn and moved her for jobs 40-50 years ago and are long retired. Not a single retired neighbor moved. Why.

Moving north is just getting colder and moving south is just getting hotter. Plus I like museums, pro sports teams, weather not too hot or cold. I also like in retirement there is so much to explore within 3 hours or DC by car and we have 3 airports.

The neighbors who do have a retirement place it is a small house or condo mainly in Delware or Florida but kept main home .My buddy retired Milton DC and from October to March there is nothing open. Also no good hospitals, no airport, no sports teams, no nothing really in Delaware at all in winter to do.

It is not like this place is great or even very good but trouble is most places are worse or too expensive.      [/quote][/quote]
