I expect that soon you will tell walkonby what it's really like to grow up as a gay man since you know so much better than he does.

No, i'm not as much of a self-righteous douche as doctor doom.

I could live without a car where I live, if I chose. I'm on a bus line to the Metro, VRE is easily bikeable, and I'm within walking distance of Giant, Whole Foods, Starbucks, CVS, JAXX, a large park, and a smattering of restaurants.

So do you choose? Do you actually take the bus and the metro and ride your bike and walk to all of those places? And I mean more than once every three months. Because I could learn to speak 30 languages fluently "if I chose". That's a pretty stupid argument.

Remind he where I said that I was the authority???

"You guys do realize that if you leave during the encore and have a fast set of walking legs, you can beat the crowd and not wait in the lot 3.5 hours, right?

I haven't been to Nissan, but that's certainly been the case with every other music shed/sporting venue I've been to."


But since this is the thread where you insisted you were the authority on attending Jiffy Lube Live shows, despite having never been to Jiffy Lube Live, it's not surprising in the least.

My decision to live outside of DC comes down to one thing, and one thing only.  Sub-standard public schools.  I've been raising two kids by myself on a single income for the past 2 or so years.  So shelling out the cash for private schools is out of the question.  And rolling the dice on getting into one of the better charter schools is also out of the question.

That said, we've been really happy in Arlington, and now Falls Church in a neighborhood that is probably 50/50 latino/white.   I'm getting married in October, so for the first time in a long time I'm now enjoying a two income home...but we are staying put. 

For me, and for everyone else, either location has it's ups and downs.  But for ME, all things considered, the burbs are the better fit.

To each their own.  If I had no kids, I'd most certainly not live where I am, but if that were the case I probably would have left the area altogether quite some time ago.

PS - If I were a city dweller I'd still no doubt have a car.  I lived without one until I was almost 30 years old, so clearly I know it can be done.  But I like road trips and self-reliance, so I need that flexibility in my life.

i.e. I agree with Doctor Doom's opinion.

"I don't really see what your point is... where you're living is still boring as shit and requires a car to do anything.  To each their own, but not for me, ever!"
