And that's the exact same thing we all fall into; there is more to life than money. Consider all factors, not just the money.
DC is colder in the winter and humid in the summer.
Cost of living there is about the same as here, but the moving costs are probably going to be huge too.
Traffic DC is probably as bad as traffic LA Downtown. But one good thing in DC is less pollution
Hard decision Docstudent. I'd only move back East if I were retired (never have to drive through snow here
).... but DH doesn't want to live East coast anyway. Still rather nice to actually see the seasons sometimes!
