[quote=Anonymous]We've been in DC a long time and have had a lot of friends randomly pick up one day for another part of the world. And not one has ever regretted it.  A *lot* of people find DC to be expensive, harried, hard to find a good place to live with good schools, difficult to make meaningful friendships, difficult infrastructure (traffic, crappy grocery stores, with limited *accessible* fun stuff to do - in the sense that you have to drive, deal with a zillion people, parking, etc). I think it surprises people to find out that there are a lot of nice places to live in the world where a lot of those things are remedied.  Now a bunch of people are going to jump on and say "what are you talking about, I have a million good friends in DC and we can hop on the metro in 15 minutes to go to the national mall everyday!"  In which case, chances are that you are not one of the many people contemplating leaving DC. If you are contemplating leaving DC, it means that you are struggling with these issues in DC, and therefore are practically guaranteed to find somewhere better to live.  Life is super short. Go for it!
