re: Anyone lived in DC? Just got a new job there

The 80s were rough, the city collapsed, but the 90s were kind to the city, and by the early 2000s DC had developed a great food scene and it was gentrify rapidly.

JFK called it a city with northern charm and southern efficiency, but I loved the museums, the classical buildings, the galleries. It was a fun place to grow up

Policies do have consequences, and the decision to decriminalize homelessness, drug use, graffiti, and littering in major cities is having an effect across the country, but also in DC.

A friend in DC told me the rich are moving back to the country again.

My one practical observation, the beltway is undrivable for long stretches of the day. I wouldn’t make it part of your commute.
