[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thing is, VA is no utopia, despite certain residents desire to perpetuate that idea and criticize DC in the process.  I also think that DC residents could engage in a tit-for-tat if you want to break down where criminals are actually coming from (starts with 'V' and ends with 'A'). 
OP, if you prefer to live outside of the city, you should consider MD because it's more progressive, has more character, and there's less relative traffic. Downside of MD appears to be the social competition factor, but I feel like that exists throughout the DC area region.  Gosh, after all of these posts, OP will probably be working hard to stay put in Portland. [/quote]

Get with the program!  The DC line is that the criminals come from Maryland and the guns come from Virginia.  The VA/MD line is that the victims live in DC, which is more important than the origin of the criminals or guns.

The notion that suburban MD has more "character" than suburban VA is pretty laughable.  I can't think of any place in suburban Maryland that has as much "character" as Alexandria, except for Takoma Park (which is tiny) and Chevy Chase (which is old money).  There are parts of MD that look more like New Jersey than anywhere in VA.
