Rate This City: Day 7- DMV (DC, MD, VA)

[Nicole0416_718_929_646212]

I like that about DC as well. It doesn't take away from the urbanity of the city at all.

It does for me - idk, I'm used to seeing tall buildings and being surrounded by that type of architecture in cities; so when I first started coming to DC, it was very off putting to see flat buildings, same type of construction, no variety- real cookie cutter. I actually think that takes away from the overall city feel of the environment.

How are you including the whole DMV for Washington?

DC doesn't have 6 million people living in the city. They are about a tenth of that size.

DC is cool. It's like my third home. Most of my fam lives in and around Philly or DC, so I spent a lot of time there.

I love being around upwardly mobile and ambitious black folk, and DC probably has more per capita than any city in the country.

Cost of living is ridiculous, traffic is fukking insane but everything else is on point.

Its clean
Good opportunities
Good schools
Culture feels right
Nice diversity in the area
Nightlife is good
Women are on point
Nice distance to the beach
Sightseeing is official

Feels like all cities should be built like this. Although the skyline is kinda wack. I get not having it look like New York, but it'd be nice to see 5-10 buildings with some personality that you could see from miles away.

I'll give it a 9. I wish I moved there when I had the chance right after college. What's crazy for me is, I didn't think I would rate it this high, but all things considered how could I not.

I didn’t just include DC, I included Northern VA and parts of MD. All of those areas combined have about 6 million people.

NYC actually scored 8.74, if you care about these things.

we don't ..
says 10.5 on the leaderboard.

Personally, no city can get above a 9 for me. These cities aren't built for us and we're getting pushed out.

So many of our neighborhoods are in decay despite the rich history.

I said a 6. No city is in America is getting higher than that

GOAT city. Wish I never moved but try to go back as much as I can. One of the few cities where you got professional types, thots and tons of in between and the pros are just as freaky as the thots. I miss it brehs

I cleaned up on Embassy Row. She was Persian and I can’t say more than that or I’ll lose my clearance

Naw man, I think y’all will do good.

Yeah.. Baltimore is a good look too, definitely. I like it.

Why not just say DC since the culture in DMV is based off DC ?

NYC isn’t cold like that

I mean we have a winter it snows once in awhile but damn it ain’t Alaska

A lot of colder cities in the East Coast and Midwest just wear a coat

NYC cold is weak compared to the Midwest aka Chicago/Ohio/Minnesota.

nyc Virtually almost never gets negative weather in the winter.

Meanwhile check the temperature for a Timberwolves game in February

change thread title to dc, i don't understand why you have DMV when all the other threads you actually put a city. Saying DC cover for PG Moco and Nova without saying "DMV"

cuz "DMV" confuses people.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Despite cost of living DC has added blacks right?

That’s actually a huge positive to consider.

I didn’t just include DC, I included Northern VA and parts of MD. All of those areas combined have about 6 million people.

I know, but it's inconsistent with the other locations.

When you do Dallas, is going to be Dallas/Fort Worth?

Is Newark going to include Jersey City?

Minneapolis...St. Paul

San Fran...Oakland...also San Jose

Is LA going to include Orange County? shyt, if you include Orange County...they might win this competition...

You have to be consistent with the metro areas...

On another note, how did NYC get a 10.53?

 

[Rich Spirit]

Is Houston next?
