Why don’t any non-political, non-pro-athlete celebrities live in the DC area?

It seems like in the past few years, a lot of celebrities have spread out to places like Santa Fe NM; random small towns in Western CT, upstate NY & CO; Atlanta GA; Austin TX; Toronto CN; and Australia, Portugal, Spain and England. So, why not here?

All this tells me is that your definition of "celebrities" must be very narrow. Do you include all the top people in their respective field? Or you do think only of actors and musicians? There are MANY celebrities in this area. Just more in business and STEM fields. There are many celebrities in Silicon Valley - but in high tech. See how that works?

Lmao, nobody cares about some Sillicon Valley hack. Celebrity = someone the average person has heard of. It does not include exploitative CEOs.

DC people truly don’t have a clue.

Why would they want to live here? If I had celebrity level money, I would live far away from here.

This. I mean what Would the draw be? Hardly any gated communities, horrible weather, horrible traffic.

At least NYC has the cultural and arts aspect. I wouldn’t live there, either, but I can understand why it attracts celebrities. DC is just boring and has nerdy people.

I have a hard time relating to people like you. You think that a top scientist, admired by his or her peers, and who has dedicated their life to figuring out cancer or diabetes, is somehow less worthy of your admiration that an actress? You believe that all CEOs are exploitative, but do YOU spend your time reducing your carbon footprint and giving to the less fortunate? You believe that inventors who work on biomechanical devices, or software engineers who create AI platforms that will ease your life, are unintelligent and should not be considered stars in their own fields?

You are very silly, PP. Art and culture do not exist in a vacuum, separate from the industrial and technological context of their day. The former is entirely dependent on the latter.

Be a little mindful next time you decide to scoff at the things that actually matter in life.
