[quote=Anonymous]^^ Common sense there...  Brooklyn is one of those special places, and by definition, can't be duplicated.  That's why it's special. (Duh) So find other cool things.  Yes, Baltimore is more violent than is NY.  But DC is also more violent than NY.  I work in DC in the middle of the night, and when I am in Manhattan, I'm surprised by how safe it is.  Anyway.  I think you'd like Baltimore.  There's also a very small town near Columbia called Ellicott City that is very cool, with it's own brewery, good restaurants, good stores.  No, it's not Brooklyn.  But it is it's own kind of cool.  And you can get an 1800's stone house with a beautiful yard near the river for some ridiculously affordable price.  If you are looking only in DC, be ready sticker shock on both buying and renting.  You get very little for your money here.  When my husband and I browse real estate in Manhattan, just for fun, we're like... crap, we could buy that.  Like, it seems kinda affordable compared to around here.  Cray!!  good luck and don't let the grouchies on DCurbanmom get you down!!  [/quote]
