Moved here after living in Manhattan for 8 years. DC rent is much cheaper but other living costs such as groceries are comparable. Random but haircut and gym are actually much more expensive here...

Diego's for a haircut! Great cut, price and experience. Coffee placs next door is solid, and it's next to Kramer's bookstore. I used to make a morning out of it when I lived there.

Haircut cost me like $25 at great clips. Gyms idk I use my apartment gym but there are places to get cheap haircuts you just can’t look in the gentrified areas like navy yards or you’re going to pay for getting your haircut there

Well don’t be having a high costs taste then complaining about the costs. Go live out in the sticks if you want to do that.

I haven’t had a bad haircut from then. (I wouldn’t trust them to do color though)

Seriously rent/mortgage is like less than 1/2 of NYC or even Jersey City. I’m moving to Jersey city in 3 weeks and paying double I paid to own a place in DC (brand new construction).

These studies are always so wrong when I look at the numbers haha.

I thought that New York has a massive number of rent controlled places compared to DC; so that would offset people like you.
