Update: I left my $100k/yr IT job in DC to start a business down in Louisiana last July.

As a dude from the DMV who left an 80k a year job and a 20k a year side business to come ALL the way out here to Qatar to make that same 80k TAX FREE, I agree with you 1000%, that's why I left and wont be returning, the quality of life in DC is EXAUSTING, the traffic, the insane amount of cops and speed traps, the "fake bougie black folk to the real bougie white folk :pacspit: all that shyt
What was your side business?

I moved here two months ago and there are speed cameras everywhere!

DC is a bland, stale and soulless city full of type A professionals. People aren't real. People are real siddity here. It's hard to make real romantic connections. It's hard to meet real people in terms of just friendship. Everybody is about their career, networking and advancing. Mostly because people in DC are transient by nature; in the city for college, graduate school, government job, campaign work, lobbying, politics. The idea is just to come here, get a career and bounce. So they could care less about anything that doesn't involve that. DC is a one trick pony town. Politics and government. Imagine if New York was full of nothing but, Wall Street people. No starving artists, musicians, writers, publishers, fashion models, night club owners, journalists and editors, engineers, programmers, architects, lawyers, other corporate employees. Just a city full of boring investment bankers. That's D.C. Cities like NYC and LA have people from all walks of life there.

Also try finding a job that allows you to work remotely. Just don't put your address on your resume, only your number, email/linked in or whatever. At worst you may have to travel but at least you won't have to live in a city that you don't like.

because these people dont try to look for it. They think DC is that small part of northwest called downtown, and the mall and museums. They do not even bother to go out and explore the city and area and then make shyt statements like that about how "dead" DC is. Its dead because you are dead on the inside.

And its becoming that because of all of those dead people.

I was having this talk with someone I went to HS with just about this topic and about how soulless these people are that move here.

One thing I will say is that Black Elite shyt is real and is disgusting. But those people are mostly carpet baggers too.

5 star posting

the only "elite" families i respect are the ones who had great grandmothers living in the gold and platinum coasts in upper NW

the rest are still paying off loans for their Audis, bunch of black frank underwoods

So you got salty with me only to admit to the black buppie jack & jill attitude in DC a few posts later? Obviously I wasn't on that shyt, which is one of the several reasons why I didnt choose to stay. I already said local DC people were cool but let's be real, 90% of them live in SE and unless you have a specific reason to go over there, you spend most your time around the black elite crowd uptown.
