It's also a city where someone who wants absolutely nothing to do with politics can have a great time. Plenty going on in the District and environs beyond the Hill.

The Hill is where politicians from the rest of the country gather. Those of us who live here don’t have a vote there, so it’s all kind of moot for us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

100%. Some great neighbourhoods and I've found the metro to be quite good
