Way to crowded
Expensive as California but without the weather

DC or the burbs? The burbs here are brutal. I especially hate Fairfax County. Traffic always sucks, cops are out to generate revenue, housing is through the roof, and there's nothing to do but go into the city or get way the hell out of town.
Now that I'm in DC, I get to:
Walk to work (15 minute commute, part of which I walk with my wife
)
Walk to the grocery
Walk to the deli
Walk to Chinatown
Walk to the museums
Walk to restaurants, clubs
Walk to the bus stop to catch the Connector to Georgetown
Walk to the theatre
Walk to the barber, bank, post office, dry cleaner
Walk to the park
Walk to the bus stop or metro station to ride to Union Station to travel up the East Coast
Sit on our rooftop terrace and look at the concete jungle
Drive my 911 to the track and flog it
