[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, I dont live in DC anymore.  Thank God.  But I still reserve the right to snark on it, [b]because it genuinely is a shitty place.  [/b]

If you dont like it, don't open threads complaining about DC. [/quote]

Why???

DC has interesting architecture 
World class museums
Plenty of jobs 
Inexpensive housing relative to salaries 
Public transit (yes there are problems but many other us cities don't have any)
Lots of parks and green space 
Two large airports 
Train lines to other cities nearby 
Not too far from the beach and mountains 
Decent and improving restaurant scene 
Plenty of events and things to do

Maybe it's because I live in DC and not the burbs, but I love it here.  I'm often convinced that the haters live outside the district and spend a lot of time fighting traffic.  In that case I would hate it too, but I wouldn't claim to live in DC.

Are you not originally from DC?  You sound like one of those "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" types that arrive in the "big city" bright eyed and bushy tailed, convinced that this is truly the pinnacle of urban life and fascinated by every inch of city sidewalk.

For those of us who grew up in an urban area, you have to understand that we have different standards. [/quote]

I grew up in NY.  I don't think DC is the pinnacle of urban life, but I do think it has a lot to offer.  however, I'm a very positive person and have lived a rather successful life so far.  You won't get far in life with the attitude you exhibit.  You only live once and you need to get excited about the life you're living and where you live.
