does anyone really think there is a "bridge and tunnel" crowd in DC?

Well, I have always lived in the DC burbs (MoCo).

As a teen, I snuck into clubs in DC to party (like everyone else back in the day).

As a grown up, I commute into DC for my white collar job. I could certainly afford to live in DC...like the majority of professionals who work in DC but OPT to live in the burbs because the schools are better, the neighbirhoods are better, and the overall lifestyle is more appealing.

DC is NOT NYC....apples and oranges. And generally speaking, even NYC isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's not a great place to raise a family...even though my friends keep pretending it is.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The term refers to less-affluent, "lower class" people who live in Staten Island, Queens, etc. Wealthy suburbanites driving in from Potomac or Great Falls does not fit the bill.[/quote]

suburbanites "do" ... watch the agreement[/quote]

Do you have any idea how ridiculous it is to correct grammatical errors on a web forum? Many people are typing quickly on a phone or a tablet and inevitably will make typos. [i]You are an asshole.[/i] Is that grammatically correct?[/quote]

No. That's rage. You need help.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]D.C. is still trying to fix its government, crime is a beast, forget about the DMV (motor vehicles) or any other D.C. government agency to take care of business. Have met some pretty decent people in D.C. but not enough to make me want to stay here and make it my permanent home. I'll stay in touch via email.[/quote]

You obviously have no clue about the DMV. I paid for my2year registration online. I pay for tickets online. And, I made an appointment for a 2 year car inspection and was through in twenty two minutes. Crime is at a sixty year low, but w are seeing an uptick in property crimes. As for corrupt government officials, I guess it is a prerequisite for public office, just ask cuccinelli iand McConnell. [/quote]
