They say DC is a cutthroat town, full of politicians and people in suits. The metro never runs right and there are tourists everywhere. You know, now that we think about it, DC is a pretty tough city to live in. You’ve got to have a certain type of attitude and a certain type of strength and for those of us who have it, it’s a great city! But if you’re unsure if you should move to Washington DC, maybe you should take a look at what life is really like here…
No one else here does anything else. It’s all just politicians and diplomats, how boring!
Everyone wears a suit and talks about foreign affairs.

And we have a lot to choose from: Redskins, Nationals, Wizards, DC United. But they’re never good and they never have good players!
DC has one of the highest cost of living in the area so you will definitely not be able to actually do anything in the city. Other than the Smithsonian museums, the Zoo and most of the Monuments and a whole bunch of other things, everything here costs money.
It’s just a concrete jungle… with a bunch of parks, rivers and gardens scattered around it.
Even if there is only a quarter of an inch of snow on the ground, everything will shut down and you’ll be forced to spend the day at home and not at work. Sometimes if it just rains, everything shuts down.
DC gets all four seasons and it’s the worst. You need to have shorts and t-shirts in the summer and coats and boots in the winter. Who wants to shop for all those clothes?
