that can simultaneously be true with what i said:

http://www.washingtonblade.com/2013/01/04/d-c-murders-down-anti-lgbt-hate-crimes-up/

i have a trans friend in dc who had four different people she knows get stabbed in her neighborhood last year. no job is worth that risk.

every city has "tech jobs" its just if they're the place you want to live and if its the job you would want to work (it probably won't be)
