My two annual "must do" outdoor DC events gone. Poof into thin air. As with everything else we enjoy that disappears, it's about money. Rock Creek Park is a national shame, Metro is a transit mismanagement poster child, and our professional baseball experiment is a taxpayer-funded business horror film in which not even the wealthy potential patrons are interested. With DC taxpayers getting squeezed for more and more money, a totally self-serving DC Council and a surprisingly obnoxious, narcissistic mayor, after 10 years, I'm ready to move on. DC's value as a place to live is going down faster than the economy. Suggestions for my next place to live ?? First Shakespeare at Carter Barron, now Screen on the Green. My two annual “must do” outdoor DC events gone. Poof into thin air. As with everything else we enjoy that disappears, it’s about money.

With DC taxpayers getting squeezed for more and more money, a totally self-serving DC Council and a surprisingly obnoxious, narcissistic mayor, after 10 years, I’m ready to move on. DC’s value as a place to live is going down faster than the economy.

Suggestions for my next place to live ??
