Unlike many east coast cities DC has plenty of trees and Republicans

On thing that i have realized about Washington DC is how green it is. Some people out west have this perception of East Coast cities as gritty cavernous megapolis where trees are as scarce as Republicans. In DC no building can be taller than the capitol building so there are strict height requirements.

But DC is really green they have huge forests in the middle of the city and through out the city. It ranges from the Capitol Mall Where the US Capitol Smithsonian and the Lincoln Memorial is. To the Mt Vernon area and the Rock Creek Parkway. Combine the greenbelt with the river that runs through the heart of the city and I makes some really pretty drives through the city especially in the fall which it is right now. My favorite drive is the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Everyone needs to see it in the fall.

A few months ago I visited a friend we were less half mile from the subway and this deer ran past me ran down the street. In the greenbelts they its not like Central Park that has which has squirrels a few raccoons a lot of birds and not much else. But D.C. in the heart of the city places like Georgetown Arlington and the National Zoo area has genuine and growing wildlife.
