[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=ikornika]Thank you all for your insight and perspectives, negative and positive.

I must admit I am feeling a bit discouraged but remain undeterred. Now, I am armed with more information and will go back to crunching numbers and figuring where our comfort lies. At worse, we've a soft place to land back in Jacksonville if it all goes awry in DC.

Hubs is preceding us to DC and will be there three months before we move so that DD can finish out the school year here so that'll give him the opportunity to "practice" commuting from different areas and we'll be up to visit him several times to check out different areas now that I have some zip codes to research.[/quote]

You're gonna love it, it has a crazy high quality of life. The worst thing that can be said of it is that it's expensive, which is true, but you can afford it.

Seriously this forum is full of the most miserable people. I honestly don't even know why I come here, but I'm having a slow afternoon at work and here we are.

Imagine an anonymous forum of people in Jacksonville with time to kill....

This poster is spot on. DC is great, especially since your income is high enough to have an awesome life here. Our HHI is lower than yours and we have a nice house in the city and couldn't be happier. Don't let the negative DCUM posters make you feel bad. [/quote]

+2.  I can only imagine many of the PPs who hate DC either 1) have HHI far below $350K; this area is so expensive and/or 2) have very long commutes from the burbs.  Most of the people I know IRL who live in my DC neighborhood like it well enough, or love it.[/quote]
