Probably but to be fair I'd rather live in DC than Wisconsin. It's not the DC of Marion Barry and the 1980's crack epidemic. Theres great food, decent weather, you're not far from Boston, NYC, WV, and NC. There's beautiful homes, buildings , parks, and architecture. After all, it's our nation's capital. I loved riding my bike all over DC and right up to the capitol building. Also, if you're single, dear God there's so many single women it's crazy. Also, the girls are young and pretty but very busy with their careers so they aren't a hassle. Easy place to have fun. It's not all swamp rats. There's lots of hard working, very smart people there who are really going places and great to get to know.
