[quote=Anonymous]I think you'd prefer dc.  Having a job you love is important. I lived in center city and loved it for the year but always feel like Philly is better as a city ( very dense, walkable, easily lived without a car,  great food) but the suburbs feel far more removed. In part dc is physically small so Bethesda/Arlington are still very close to downtown.  I also think the fact that the suburbs are on the metro rather than a regional rail makes a difference- much easier to run 15 minutes late and not miss your entire train ride. It's running infrequently at the moment due to covid but still more frequent then septa. I lived in DC for years but now that I'm married with a kid on the way we live in Bethesda- still very easy to get downtown and great schools.   I too found Philly was very hard to break into- everyone seemed to have grown up there and never left. DC is opposite.

My husband and I often joke about leaving the area for my much lower cost of living hometown but there is then a huge tradeoff in jobs and intellectual community so we stay.  [/quote]
