Tall grass is like the worst apartment ever. Probably overpriced too.Quote:

That is one way to look at it.
DC isn't terribly expensive. I have cheap rent in my apartment and it's in a cool stretch next to the Black Cat. But for everyone else I know, rent in DC runs... like $1000-$1200. I pay $770. You can get cheaper if you get into rougher neighborhoods. I hear rent is cheap in Anacostia. If you are looking for a Williamsburgy neighborhood, there's H Street that's building up rapidly. It's sort of cut off transportation wise though. Bills aren't bad, Pepco bill usually runs $60-100 depending on the season. Gas is usually ... 40 or so. Groceries all depends on what you eat. Overall I would call DC somewhat cheaper than New York, but not significantly.
As for a car. If you live and work in DC, you don't really need a car. I used mine just to go out to my girlfriend's in Virginia, and that's about it. DC has district bikes, the metro, buses and zipcar, so it's pretty easy to get around.
Incidentally, I might be back in NYC in the fall for a spell, staying with my brother.
*of note: with Pepco, will be guaranteed to have no power if any thunderstorms/snow storms hit. They are the WORST energy provider in the area.Quote:
