Lmao I pay 3500 here, could be warping my view I guess. Granted I’m in Capitol Hill and have a pretty big house, it could be a 2Br if I wanted it to be.

When I moved here this past summer everything at 2200 was one of those big corporate-type apartment buildings. Drawing a parallel between that and the priciest borough isn’t a good example imo

  1. NY is better but DC isn’t awful. More opportunity to advance in NY
  2. it’s more or less the same imo. Rent is worse in Ny, but food/services are cheaper than DC.
  3. straight so I cannot say, but the 6 or 7 gay bars I’ve been to have been fun and each had a very different vibe from the others.
  4. NYC, but DC has a lot too.
  5. kind of. I feel like everyone in DC is on the grind. Friendship def took a backseat to my career here. Easier in NYC.

I moved here 6 months ago. I really enjoy it. I came for a year of school, but will be staying afterward and for the foreseeable future.

(I’m originally from Columbus too and imo you won’t regret moving here)

I feel like a lot of transplant residents with complaints hadn’t lived in a dense urban setting before moving here, and are surprised by the proximity to wealth disparity, crime, etc. it’s not worse (and in some cases arguably better) than any other major metro area in the country (NY, LA, Chicago, the bay, etc.)
