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

-----------------------The sun.
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 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.

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.
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.
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 just really, really hated the DC area. Are you set on San Diego or are you open to other suggestions in California?

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.

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?
