[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came to DC for Grad School but I always wanted to live in here. I met my husband here, kids were both delivered at Sibley Hospital.

I Love:
All of the friends we’ve made from all walks of life. Some have left and we’ve visited them (Europe, South America, NYC) but a lot have stayed. I love them all.

I love that I can see an art film, go to a museum, listen to a lecture at a University  **any time**

I love that there are tons of different food options. I grew up in NY where I ate A LOT of amazing Italian food but I’ve had delicious food from all over the world here.

I love the trees and parks! DC is a tree city and I love it.

I love the job options. DH and I have found amazing careers here.

I love the salaries and COL: bear with me. NYC is my comparison and we live so well here. No way we could live like this in NYC.

I used to love the politics and worked in politics for a decade.

A lot of cities are filled with people who have always been there. I love that everyone here has a story about why they’re in DC.

I love living in a city other people love to visit.

What I don’t love:

July in DC
Rising crime

So you’re rich? Lol. [/quote]

Not sure what makes you say that:

Friends=Free
University lectures= Free
Museums= Free
Amazing Vietnamese Food= Not $$$
Trees, Parks=Free
People with a story=Free
City people love to visit=Free

Yes, I do like the salaries here. I could NEVER have afforded to work in nonprofits and live in NYC. I’ve been able to do so in DC.

Some people will be miserable anywhere. Just sayin’[/quote]
