Crime |
| Depending on the area, crime is very high in much of Washington, D.C. |
Medical facilities |
| There are many great hospitals especially the one at George Washington Univ. |
Transportation |
| One of the best things about Washington is its mass transit system. The Metro runs through parts of the city with convenient service, including a short trip to Reagan Airport. Bus service is good as well. Dulles International Airport is not as convenient (and goofy transport system to gates), offers flights all over the world. Amtrak in beautiful Union Station goes about anywhere, especially NY. |
