[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question, not being snarky.

I see a lot of these threads, people singing the praises of places like Kansas City, Des Moines, how they don't regret leaving DC.

And yet...

...you are posting this on DCUM.

Does the fact that you have never left DCUM maybe indicate something? Sure the COL is lower elsewhere and there is less hassle to daily life. But DC is an important city on the international stage and even in local affairs these days there is a real energy, a sense of change and progress. I think it is this energy that I would miss most if we left, and I wonder if it's also the reason that you're all still on DCUM? Just a hypothesis.

I haven't moved yet, but I imagine I'll stay on DCUM because most of the topics here are pretty universal- I mean, I don't need to be living in DC to discuss disciplining preschoolers or the 2016 election or 529 plans, right? (Unless I'm missing something.) If there was a "Des Moines Urban Moms and Dads" site with the breadth (and anonymity!) of DCUM I'd go there, but this kind of site doesn't really exist elsewhere.

Plus didn't Jeff say the majority of users on here aren't even from the DC area?[/quote]
