In the two cities I lived in (Columbus and Buffalo) both have been very car centric, unfortunately. Don't I have ever found a use for Columbus' very lackluster public transit, but excited to possibly even ditch my car for a city like DC

Yeah, probably could've rephrased my post a little better. That seems to be the case in the other city subs I follow, just felt I wasn't seeing any positivity in this sub, where others there are blips of happiness. Obviously digging deeper into the sub I found some more friendly posts.

I appreciate the N High St comparisons!

A less ridiculous Nextdoor is a great description lol. Baltimore is definitely a city to consider as well. Kinda just depends on where the cards fall jobwise.

I get that. When I was younger, I felt I was destined to live in one of the mega-cities in America. But after visiting them more recently, they were too much of a concrete jungle, something I think DC does a better job of managing.

Do you find living just outside of DC preferable to living within DC/closer to downtown?

Scrolling subreddits are just part of this decision making process, I am not stupid. Other than actually spending time in a city, or having family/friends that live/lived there, it's difficult to get a local's take on what is good/bad, fun/boring, safe/dangerous in a city. Although reddit isn't best place for getting a feel on something, it provides easy access to hundreds of thousands of opinions, which I think can be useful, even if not the most representative.
