[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My attempt to talk you out of it:

Denver is all about quality of life, and DC is just ... not. It can be a tough/stressful place to live unless everything lines up just right. My low point was flipping off a garbage truck that drove around me while I waited for the light to turn red. I was like, who have I become??? But some people make it work and love being around so much action (money, power, politics, culture). I just prefer a more laid back existence.

I lived in Denver in the early 2000s, and I know it’s changed—higher cost of living, more traffic, etc. Still, when I go back for work I always have such a nice time. I can breathe. People are less tense. I feel like I can freely move around. [/quote]

This this this. It is hard to be in dc and not feel stressed - its palpable. People are just tense...other things too (materialistic, in many cases, for example.), but too tense is the best way to put it. I think the switch from Denver's high quality of life to DC (lack thereof) would be pretty tough. Where are you from originally?[/quote]

Seems like a lot of you have this myth that Denver is this relaxing and inexpensive place you can just enjoy while having a laid back low hour commitment job or just retiring.  The truth is it's quite expensive already and has its own traffic problems and also doesn't really have quite a robust job market as DC and similar cities.  After looking at prices there I don't think it's that much of a relief and simply no longer a low COL place. As far as it's been worth it compared to places like DC it's really subjective and depends on personal tastes.[/quote]
