[quote=Anonymous]After living all over the country, I've decided that DC is the best and most livable spot.  About a decade into my 30 years here, I decided that moving "back home" would be a good idea to raise our kids.  That lasted 3 years and then, out of pure boredom and fear of raising little idiots, came back. We'll never leave again.

Don't take DC for granted for all the reasons already cited.

Educated population, career and economic stability, cultural opportunities, children can learn history by actually visiting government and battlefields, good healthcare, architecturally interesting, great mix of cuisines, and the theater scene (while not wonderful) is as decent as you'll get outside of NYC.  Four seasons, and none of them horrible with fall foliage and spring blossoms.  Proximity to mountains, bay, ocean, vineyards, farms, and NYC can be a day trip.  As expensive as real estate is, you get a LOT more for your money than in NYC or California, which are the only other two places I'd want to live in this country.  Easy flights to Europe.  Public transportation could be better but it's mostly clean and comparatively dependable.

I'm a Washingtonian now.
