Where did you get your shirt?

I want to move to D.c

This video really helped me with my decision so Washington DC I will see you soon. Thank you sir for making this video

how would you compare it to Atlanta? would love to see a video of dc vs atlanta

Word. Nailed it. Plus, you said honest things that nobody here would ever say They are stuck in the koolaid. Lack of diversity. So called "nightlife" sucks. Practically zero hip hop clubs per your example. Public transportation, yep true. And no public transportation west of 1/Mopac. The lack of diversity and culture, It DOES seep into everything and I'm commenting here as a person who grew up in California and lived most of my life in the Bay Area, for other people who expect there to be things like good radio stations, or places to dance to dance music, , old school, r&b, hip hop, low riders, they are not here, as well as alot of other things you are accustomed to like people being used to diversity. I know your video is 3 years old but still wanted to add another perspective and testimonial. Austin has had alot of growth and change over the past 10 years and has less of an identity now than ever. All people have a personality of some kind right? Well Austin has people so it must have a personality but does it?

2023 crimes is nothing compared to 90s crime in DC

No where to run just have fun Austin

No where to run just have fun Austin

Homeless every where

You remind me of my friend Robert in High School. Robert is a math wizard we studied AP Calculus through high school. God bless you Robert.

Life long DMV (MD). Proud Maryland driver. I think you got it almost all right. Thank you!

I’m planning leave mass to dc or Maryland

None of these cons got ish on LA cons. I loved DC when i visited and i plan to visit a few more times in 2025 to confirm whether i can live there. Thanks for the video. Every city has their things.

He’s so wrong about the food. DC has a lot of really great restaurants and food. Take a look at the Michelin food guide. It’s just not accessible to everyone. You gotta pay to eat well in DC and have reservations.

i moved to SE DC district 8 and I've already had a lady threaten me for trying to warn her about a parking notice posted on our apartment, been spat at on the train because i look white, been accused of being an undercover cop for asking a police a question. Witnessed a domestic assault and had to give a neighbor my phone to call the police after her lover assaulted her and i have only been here for a little over a month.

I think another problem in austin is a very small black population. And they are mostly on the east side. Its very segregated.

I'm from PG and all 3 areas have bad drivers. DC - wreckless MD - careless VA - clueless Take your pick you'll be pissed at least twice a day driving around someone 😂

I grew up in Washington. I can confirm this list is accurate.

We were in London last Spring and loved it. Great transportation and also a very walkable city.

DC also feels bit culture-less, a bit sterile compared to other cities. Maybe that’s because of the large federal government presence, the tourists and the transitory nature of a large part of the population.

I’ve been here since ‘89. Some things are better, some worse. I agree about the food scene, although there are some great places. Crime was very high in the 90s, then declined but now it’s on the rise again. Many areas of DC are being renovated and there is a construction renaissance ongoing. Traffic is a nightmare. The number one reason not to move to the dmv is traffic. Also, housing prices are through the roof.

DMV is the department of motor vehicles NOT DC, Maryland & Virginia, otherwise known as the metropolitan area.

@makingbigmoves! As a DC native, you are 100% on point!

Also, if you need help looking for places to eat you need to go to Northern VA, Southern MD and specific parts of DC. There are so many hole in the walls that are better than any restaurant I have eaten in NYC or LA.

LOL!!!! DC has better food than Dallas, NY and LA. The issue is you don’t know where to look. Pollen ain’t that bad compared to the South. I am from the DMV and NC and SC is way worst.

Dc nightlife more expensive than nyc now

Yes the Kakadas are seriously awful

So I'm going to say this as a Washingtonian. DC has its problems and it has its perks. Please name on city that doesn't? You said you ate from Philly? Philly has a whole lot more problems than dc and the crime rate is higher and you all do not get paid no wjere near us. Which brings me to my other point. In 2008 the housing market drop, all of these other states suffered greatly and places closed down, Dac and its suburbia did not..qe falter a little but we stayed open. And after that according to the statistics in the city paper, 6000 people per week moved to the DC area because of the high paying jobs and stability of the workforce here. Which makes sense this is the heart of the federal government. With that being said.. why don't all of you all that complain about DC go back to wjere you come from.and stay there? I bet you won't because you know you won't be as financially affluent as if you stayed here. I have never met agenersti9n of people that cy and bitch and complain about every little thing when the power is really in your hands. What power? LEAVE! Go back from where you came instead of crying about it. Most folks places got bad ish the difference is, you all grew up there so to you all it's ok cause you accepted it. You can not come to another city or state and expect it to be like home. If that is the case.. why leave your home state? And to me that is the stupidest ish I heard. You are 2, 4, 6 hours and even 600 to 200 miles away from home and expect it to be like home or similar? Really? Get gone.

This will be any city you just don’t fit into - they all will seem like this. Every city has these problems

Dc is trash....los angeles is much better

Moved here with my mother as a teen. This was 1988. DC has its highs and lows. Overall it’s has so many highs even if you don’t have a lot of money. This is why I live in Montgomery County

Tks. much

Maryland drivers...

I was born and raised in DC. I moved to the south 24 years ago and I still visit because I have close friends there. The traffic is insane. It is a beautiful city. Great night life.

Born and raised just outside. I've moved away a lot, but I keep coming back. While I in general believe the DMV is an amazing place to visit, but a horrible place to live, you do a great job of being fair to the area. Good pros and reasonable cons. A good job on the video.

The food thing isn't just DMV. It's a lot of big cities. i felt the same way when I was in Atlanta. Instagram, but food quality was subpar but overpriced. U r telling no lies about the allergies. i never had allergies until I moved to the DMV. And the cicadas situation is wild, lol 😂

You don't know shit bruh you have a very limited point of view you will never experience this city unless you really tapped in.

First of all, we didn't invite you 😂! Let's start there! Second, which is MY first pet peeve, DC, we stand alone. Stop letting them ppl in the M and V fool ya! We are a free city state! Taxation without representation isn't just on our tags baby! If you don't have political ambitions then you right DON'T COME HERE!!! 😂😂😂😂 #DCSTANDUP #BORNANDRAISED #STILLHERE #202

While unfortunate, having your car broken into is not "violent crime", but "property crime". 😂😂😂

I like your personality

Move to Maryland close to DC I am in Maryland

Brody it's okay to say Austin don't have black people. I live in Houston I've visited Austin and I know Austin don't have black people. Like you said it's cool but the truth is it don't have black people

Headed there next month solo!

Old DC was waaaayyyyy better my guy.

Great video. Very accurate. Been on the MD side for over 40 years. Proximity is one of the best advantages. It can't be beat unless you want to travel to the West Coast all of the time.

Fun fact: we know yall aint from here when you use the term DMV.

I will agree with some of this, but this is a 4 season area…so you will get Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter. We do have many great food establishments (and yes I’ve traveled to many places). You just need to explore more. Enjoy!

WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOUR CITY ON YOUR SHIRT...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

MOVE...RELOCATE

You killed me on Con #1, almost turned off the vid. Thankfully I stuck it out and you got to some truth about Maryland drivers. Given a choice, I’d take crime over Maryland drivers!
