Fed Up with DC, Traffic, Crime, Expenses

6/15/2007
Fresh out of college after receiving a master's degree, I had the chance to explore and live in DC. I moved into a so called neighborhood that was undergoing a rebirth; however, crime continues to be a major problem in this area. I live in a 540 square food studio on the footsteps of downtown DC and my rent is 1,800 a month, not including utilities. Traffic is horrible. Some say that you do not need a car in DC. That is complete bull. Metro does not run twenty four seven and taxis charge ridiculous fees because of the zone system> Most of the finer shopping areas are in the burbs, grocery stores are in the burbs and the grocery stores in the city are expensive. I hate paying $5.99 for a gallon of milk and the people are rude and do not know how to drive and always in a hurry to go nowhere and I can not wait to move
