Yes but there is an excellent mass transit system in place if one is intelligent enough to take advantage, not to mention world class cultural amenities and tons of other things to do. And let's not forget it (along with Boston) it has by far the lowest unemployment rate of any major US city.

Unemployment means squat for the DC area.
Wonder why? its called the government employs a huge majority of people or the government has a hand in the contractors.
regardless D.C is a good place to visit but not live in.
The Monuments are wonderful to see However you couldnt pay me to live in the traffic clogged/no Downtown Central Business District D.C area.
Especially when the government is going to be forced to cut jobs soon cause Washington is running 1 Trillion Dollar+ year deficits.

It's a great city to live in, I actually lived there for 7 years. It has a ton of cultural amenities, grand yet human-scale architecture, a great restaurant/nightlife scene, nice parks/extensive greenspace and lots of outdoor recreational opportunities, plus a world class mass transit system. There isn't a lot of traffic in DC and clearly you're unfamiliar since you refer to bad traffic/congestion which is suburban (as in Northern Virginia and Maryland) which by geographic definition is NOT Washington, DC. There a half dozen or so thriving "central business districts" in downtown Washington DC, unlike podunk Indianapolis which you seem to cheerlead for incessantly on this forum as some kind of paradise the rest of us have yet to figure out. Furthermore your rambling about jobs and deficit mean nothing. Do you suppose for a minute there are going to be mass layoffs in DC? So before you go off on a rant about an unfamiliar city you have managed to form a dislike for, check your facts so you're not left looking completely clueless.

have you thought of the Virgin Islands yes it is costly but has the warm water!
St Johns is maybe the best of all there and it would be fun

Seattle sounds interesting to me but it's probably too expensive.

She said 'no humidity' and Houston is the most humid place I've ever been in my life.
