Mike Wrote:i ride my bike to work, i walk to the grocery store (and can bike to 100% of the stores i need), i walk to the library, i have a plethora of great dining options (many within walking distance), i'm very happy with the local government, i can find a concert to attend any night of the week, and 95% of my friends are here.
i like having EVERYTHING i need close-by.
and the stupid-person density is pretty low.
Id have to disagree on the stupid-person density :lol:
But yes I love NOVA as well, yes traffic sucks (unless you live here and know how to avoid 99% of it), but I love it. That said, I am considering Charlotte, Atlanta, California and Texas in a few years. My reason is quality of life, my priorities have started shifting away from bars/nightlife/social life that DC/NOVA easily offers to more of my hobbies (biking/rowing/relaxing/working on project cars). I will definitely miss NOVA, but the price to pay is starting to lose its bang for the buck as I use less of NOVA's "facilities".
