This subreddit is awful; I moved to DC 11 years ago for work. I left that job over 7 years ago and stayed because of how much I enjoy it here. Don't get me wrong it has issues, but it's what you make of it. Get out and explore, meet new people, and be sure to eat at some of the unique restaurants around. Get out of the city too! DC is in such an advantageous spot; you can go to the beach, go camping, rock climbing, brewery/winery/ distillery hopping, there's so much history in the city and out of it. All this to say sure there's shitty parts just like any city, but it's not hard to find the lovely parts. I hope you guys give it a shot and enjoy it as much as I do!
