Nah, that is DC, man. The mentality is hellish, at best. I feel for you.
I was in Hoodbridge for awhile, in a nice area. Hated rush hour on weekends, no matter what. Worked in Falls Church. 24 miles from house to work, 1.5 hours minimum, on a damn motorcycle. Not long after I got slammed into at a stop light, I packed my $hit up and left. Eff that place, and the whole area.
Anyway, welcome aboard. I've got a good range for you to hit up, if you don't know about it. You'll have to wait for spring for it to open back up, but it's alright.
