Reply to comment by se_puede in Moving from Midwest to DC by Anybody220

Yeah, I’m not sure what I said to him to make him mad. I appreciate the heads up even though I’m fully aware of the cost difference. Do people really think beer are only $2 in the Midwest and apartments are that cheap?

I’m not mad. Seriously. There is a cultural difference here you should be aware of. Your midwestern polite sensibilities are not universal. It might sound harsh to you but it’s just to drive a point.

And yes, this sub has common threads “I can’t believe I can’t find x for $y”

I mean I’ve stepped outside the Midwest before man. I lived out of my car in Pittsburgh for a year, been mugged in Houston, and I travel to Boston and Seattle frequently for work and family. I’m versed on the no one gives a fuck about you in this world. But yeah, I’m overall a polite Midwesterner who would like to find a nice bar and diner in DC.
