OP - I live in the dc area. [/quote]

This board is DC based. If someone says HERE, they mean DC area.[/quote]

They could be in Waldorf. Far cry from DC. [/quote]

OP here - we live in Alexandria. Our neighborhood is lovely and we’re near a lot of things. I’m not the poster in a cramped apartment and thankfully my car has never been broken into.

Somebody else asked if I work - I work full-time but could work anywhere.

My husband doesn’t want to move because he likes it here, he is concerned about job security (but then will say in the same breath that his industry is staying remote, I don’t get it), and because if we move we will be a few hours further from his family... We see his family 2-3 times per year now and 99% of the time, it’s because we go to them since [b]they don’t come to visit us because they hate this area, too. [/b][/quote]

This is a very real factor no one has mentioned. Both my family and my DH's family dislike the DMV and don't like visiting. My family sucks it up a bit more now that we have kids and will still visit, but the visits are hard because they dislike it so much plus it's expensive on top of that. We can't afford a place with a spare room so they have to stay in hotels. DH's family won't even visit at all so we have to travel to them.

I think when everyone was younger, they were more willing to do things that they didn't 100% love and this was less of a factor. But it has become more of an issue as our parents are aging, which is also when we feel the need to be closer to them as a precaution.[/quote]
