Yes totally. I love being in the city vs. outside in general but a short walk to work is huge when working long hours

If you’ve got the money for that expensive city rent, why not! Shorter commutes are always nicer too

Definitely worth it to live in DC but I wouldn’t live near “downtown”

Don’t do U St. Too many shootings.

Downtown is TRASH; NE is where it's at (Capitol Hill / NoMa)
