Might as well start up this debate . . .
Quick summary. 1) check washingtonianmag.com they had a recent write-up comparing the tax burdens and cost-of-living in each. Short answer: DC has higher income tax; Va. and MD higher prop. tax. 2) commutes suck everywhere. they're more palatable if you are near metro. but near metro means more expensive (also, fed. gov't employees get a metro subsidy--it's free up to a certain amount, maybe $100/month). 3) schools in DC suck for the most part, except in the expensive areas of town. Montgomery and parts of Va. both have very good schools too. 4) prices are high everywhere--it's too hard to be more specific about where to find value.

i've heard that there are some good elementary schools in DC, but i can't figure out how to tell which ones are any good
