One of the things I love about DC, and why I’ve been here for almost 30 years, is all the open and green space. Since we don’t have skyscrapers and very tall buildings, it feels much more open.

I can absolutely confirm. I grew up in NJ, 20 minutes from NYC. A while back I did a summer internship in Brooklyn after living down here for a couple years, and all I could think when I went into work every morning was "wow, I do not miss New York as much as I thought I would." I know that's heresy to a lot of people, but DC just feels so much more comfortable than NY, for lack of a better word.
