It's a good city

I've lived in atlanta, nyc, boston and cambridge, sacramento, and DC.. I'm thinking of moving back to DC from Sac b/c it's got a lot to offer:
Pros: great restaurants, good nightlife, extremely diverse, very liberal-friendly (if you care), many educated people, fair museums, some decent outdoors stuff to do around the city, decent weather. Cons: terrible drivers, parking tx (they're very fast in general), some dangerous areas - it's very patchy so you just have to know where to avoid or drive through quickly, not the friendliest people but not phoniest either (ie LA), Georgetown is like Harvard Square- pretentious, and lots of wealthy, snobby types shopping like madwomen on weekends. It's expensive but what decent city isn't?
