[QUOTE="fba827, post: 1198072, member: 807"] DC area .. Hmm.. well, if you plan on being in the suburbs, you need a car. Whereas if you live in the city itself, parking and driving hassles may not be worth it if you don't mind taking the metro (subway). Compared to Orlando... driving in DC is a MUCH different experience... (I think DC is 4th ? worse in US traffic) Lots of cultural areas.. lots of rundown areas ... lots of nice areas... very diverse over all :) If you're bringing family (or plan on having a family up here) schools should be a big consideration. School systems in the suburbs are MUCH better than in the city. Montgomery County (MD) and Fairfax County (VA) (and I think Howard County (MD)) to be specific as having very highly regarded schools. The economy and job market of the DC area is ranked as one of the most stable (if not the most stable) in the US. (This is due in no small part to the presense of government agencies that have their standard business dealings/cycles regardless of recession or boom). I know none of that is helpful information, but that's all I have the chance to say at the moment -- I need to run to work. But I have one or two links to other (much older!) threads on this same/similar topic saved at home that I can link in here later... Gaming community? I lead too sheltered of a life it seems.. supposedly there is a good one here. I just don't get out enough to actually find it. ;) blah blah blah. :) [/QUOTE]
