Summer in Washington D.C.
Going against Bisonbison's advice, I decided to accept an internship in Washington DC this summer. I would like to turn to OOT to get advice about Washington in the summer, since I have never really spent any time there.
Where do the young people hang out? I'd like to find some cheap housing that is relative safe and near a subway. Anyone know anything? If it matters, I'm working for Citizens for Tax Justice, a group that advocates for fairer taxes.

I know nothing about the DC scene or housing, but craigslist is your friend.

Re: Summer in Washington D.C.
If you are rich they want your taxes to be higher.
If you are middle class or poor, they want them to be lower. If you're a big corporation (many of whom pay no income tax at all), then you're screwed.

Re: Summer in Washington D.C.
Contact George Washington Univ. for cheap housing near a metro stop. You'll probably either hand out near Capitol Hill, in Georgetown, in Adams Morgan, or Dupont Circle.

Re: Summer in Washington D.C.
What would consider cheap housing? Cheap is a very relative term when it comes to housing.

Fair point. I know I am dreaming, but I'd love to find something between $500 - $750. [/ QUOTE ] If this is your goal you'll need multiple roommates. Check craigslist, talk to local universities, etc. If you can afford it you should also plan a trip out to take a look at various places and neighborhoods... areas can go from nice to pretty sketch in like a block.

[/ QUOTE ] You're not going to find anything even close to $500 near a subway unless you are willing to share a bedroom. Even $750 is pushing it. Arlington, VA is nice (thats where I currently live) but it is kind of a far commute to capitol hill. Adams Morgan is probably your best bet.
