I actually loved the summer I spent working in DC — tons of free things to do, lots of interesting people from all backgrounds (lobbyists, consultants, political types, academics) and a mix of very urban or suburban neighborhoods to live in. Subway not great, closes very early on the weekend and doesn’t run everywhere — I think Uber would have fixed that issue by now

DC is an absolutely awesome city to live in. Not sure what As1 is on about.

Went there for school. It’s up and coming but still lacking compared to NY. Not bustling at all in DC. And as a foodie, i thought there wasn’t much save for a few places. Upside is that it’s cleaner. I’d still prefer NY and maybe even CHI over DC

When I visited DC I noticed an abnormally high amount of people that were angry and yelling.

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
