So what will it be? The beehive of activity of DC's inner suburbs, or the sun and ocean of San Diego?

To be serious, I'd prefer San Diego to DC, though I'd have to put up with the Chargers fans (better than Raiders fans I suppose).
I've lived in both, and I find San Diego far, far more pleasant. Northern Virginia is sooooooo crowded, even more than SD. It's too cold, and too hot. San Diego stays perfect weather year round. Real estate prices are fairly equal.So what will it be? The beehive of activity of DC's inner suburbs, or the sun and ocean of San Diego?
LOL, I have a lot of family in Chula Vista. It gets better in other parts. Does it have to be San Diego or are you open to other parts of California?I've been to San Diego several times, and it just seemed kinda....dull. But maybe that's because I spent most of my time in Chula Vista. So I voted for Northern VA. I loved living in Arlington (I lived in Pentagon City). Clean, safe, and the DC metro is one of the best subway systems in the world. Great nightlife. And the gentrification going on in DC is a big plus. And I didn't mind the hustle and bustle.
They made a choice between him and Drew Brees, and well, we all know how that worked out.-----------------------
Oh, well.
Those wacky Chargers fans are hopeless optimists.
They STILL believe Phillip Rivers will lead them to the Super Bowl.......or at least a .500 record.
At least they won't stab you.
Just wait until the news Tyson's Corner metro stop opens up early next year. I imagine Tyson's Corner is going to look like Rosslyn or Crystal City in about 5 years.I've lived in both, and I find San Diego far, far more pleasant.

Yeah, I just really, really hated the DC area. Are you set on San Diego or are you open to other suggestions in California?Just wait until the news Tyson's Corner metro stop opens up early next year. I imagine Tyson's Corner is going to look like Rosslyn or Crystal City in about 5 years.

yeah i lived in Fairfax proper and disagree. The subway sucks unless you stick to the places near it. NYC's is nasty but will put you closer to everything n the city. you could not survive on Metro alone in most of NoVA.and then you have to sit in traffic forever and pay for parking just to get on the thing, well except from 8-6 when there is no parking.
I've lived in California and been to San Diego many times. (Tijuana too.) I've also visited D.C. (Yeah that metro train can get expensive and has limited access).yeah i lived in Fairfax proper and disagree. The subway sucks unless you stick to the places near it.

Ha, I was that other smuck. I lived down in Woodbridge and had to drive up to Ft. Belvoir for work. A 10 mile distance took me 2 hours on average round trip. Absolutely redonkulous.Fair point. I keep forgetting that much of NoVa does not have Metro access. I was lucky to live just a 2 minute walk to a Metro stop, 10 minute commute into DC, and another 2 minute walk to the office, so my experience was very different from say, someone who lived in outer Fairfax who would have to sit in traffic for 2 hours a day. I can see how someone living that commuter lifestyle would hate living there.
I'm wondering...does San Diego have this problem?
Neither. Give me a secluded country road with lots of land and scare neighbors, and I'll be all over it.So what will it be? The beehive of activity of DC's inner suburbs, or the sun and ocean of San Diego?
