Not moving to Bumble----. Moving to a real city, by the way. DC is not a city. It's a metropolitan sprawl.


I know you!

Well, I grew up here but I don't like it so...am I allowed to bitch about DC? I have nowhere to move back to!

We plan on moving in a few years, it's really not the city, it's most of the people like the OP. The "love it or leave it" who make this place so horrible to live in.

I imagine this is a spinoff fueled by the "People who have moved away from DC" thread. The OP of that thread never said she hated it here or trashed your beloved city. You're projecting, and you're a wee bit crazy.

Me too!


From your lips to God's ears that the rest of these whiners follow!


Yeah, but DC will still be a miserable place to be because you'll still be here.


But you won't know it because you can leave it all behind. Seriously, stop paying attention to a place you don't even like.


Oh, I'll know.


Then you're only wasting your time, but I guess that's your choice.

So does your bitching about other people's bitching. People don't always like where they are in the moment, and have reasons they can't do anything about it right now to satisfy you. Believe me, anyone who hates this place is making plans to leave. It just takes a while. Why do people take such offense when people don't fall on their knees and express constant gratitude for living here? It's a city for crying out loud. It's nothing personal.


I was just about to post the same thing. I'm perplexed why people who are so bothered by the choices of others continue to open and read the posts about moving away from D.C. It's just plain weird.

OP, it's not your problem. Why do you care?

Really, get a hobby.

It is a great fit for me and my family is here too.

I don't mind when ppl trash it on this forum because I am happy. It's not for everyone. Then again- some people are not happy no matter where they live.


Not liking living in a city like DC does not in any way translate into "well, you're just a miserable person."
