I was born in DC in 1951. Moved to VA beach in 1959. Years later returned to work. Having lived in Europe many years, I loved the diverse culture. DC is a small space. But Annapolis and Eastern Shore are close. Mountains along Blue Ridge Parkway are close. Day to day you cope with living in a Federal city. President motorcades that block traffic. The bike paths are poorly engineered. My son was cut off in a bike path and fractured both elbows. You will need to live in an apartment unless you've got a million to spend on a home. Busses and taxis and Uber/Lyft are great but expensive. But a car is kind of useless. Any other questions?
