[quote=Anonymous]Have lived in both, NYC and DC, but not the suburbs.  IMHO, if choosing the burbs, DC is easier living, because of the lower density of the area.  You don't have to move far out to have good schools and suburban living, you could still enjoy all the city amenities by taking a relatively short drive 15-30 min on the weekends, given no traffic.  Weekend traffic is much worse in NYC because of huge density and geography, which makes it difficult to drive to Manhattan to enjoy the amenities, you have to time it right, and you have to pay a lot more for parking.  Public transit, while great for work commutes is not so great for weekend recreation.   I think living in DC you wouldn't feel as much stuck in the burbs and having to do things in the burbs, because the city is doable on the weekend and even evenings.  NYC is just huge and it's not doable, we had a car while living in Manhattan and visited people in the boroughs and the burbs, we drove a lot on the days we did that. [/quote]
