Thank you!

if you're looking to live here, spend some time in the more residential and suburban neighborhoods/towns that arent in the tourist parts of the city. check out silver spring, md, alexandria, va, arlington, va, adams morgan (dc), columbia heights (dc) are the first ones that come to mind. take metro and busses around instead of driving everywhere. talk to people about their neighborhoods and what they like and dislike. folks here are friendly (not texas friendly, but still friendly) and will answer your questions.

bring a WARM coat and layer before you go out. like tank top, shirt, sweater, coat, hat kind of layering, especially if you're going to be out and about. i'm front texas and did not know how to dress for cold weather when i moved out this way.

I’ve had all my iud replacements done at planned parenthood locations. It’s worth a call to see if they’ll numb you. Ive found that they generally take womens’ pain seriously.

It’s a quieter neighborhood. You probably won’t get the same deal price wise in a more popular neighborhood.

You’re not mom and you don’t have to drive the kids around. Your friends are adults and know how to navigate DC without a car. I haven’t found that my non-driving friends expect me to drive them around. I’ll offer if it’s super cold or something but by offering to drive all the time, you’re setting up the expectation that you’ll always drive them. If it were me, I would stop offering or start the hang out with “you’re good getting home without me, yes?” And then everyone knows what happening.

Or just drink a lot and tell them you can’t drive 😜
