DC resident now and have spent a lot of time in Columbus (grew up in Ohio and my brother went to OSU and lived there for a while after). In my opinion if you like Columbus you’ll love DC. Vibes wise I’d say they definitely have similarities. Adams Morgan is N. High Street. Navy Yard is Short North. Probably like the Columbus subreddit crime gets amplified especially when it is in “nicer” areas. I have two small children and feel like the benefits of living here far outweigh any concerns about crime or the “negatives” that are often prevalent in the subreddit.
