Not too long ago DC was ranked among one of the most miserable cities.

How can we not be the happiest place when we have towns with names like Bumpass?

And, as I said in the other thread on this topic, we have Weggies. No wonder we're grinning!! BTW speaking about the other thread, check out normie's rant from earlier today, it's funny but also makes some good points.

On Oprah today they had a rerun regarding this - but the top city was in California. Are people just making up lists now? There are happy people everywhere but just drive in rush hour and try to tell me that there are a ton in the area!

I think if the area was more walkable that people would be a lot happier!
