[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^I mean, if you are sooooooo excited to live in DC, far be it for me to rain on your parade.  The museums are great, absolutely.  But the shittier and shittier with every passing year public transit makes it a hassle to get to, let alone the traffic

It's mainly the culture.  There is such a dearth of creative culture in DC.  Of course, it's a government center, so it's going to attract the wonk types, not the creatives, but still... for a large city the dearth of creativity on such a level is kind of remarkable.

Also the people.  Again with the lack of creativity- it tends to attract many small minded rule follower types, whether liberal or conservative.  It doesnt have the vibrancy of great world cities like New York, LA, San Francisco, even Seattle.  [/quote]

This is how I feel, exactly. It's even more than just a lack of creativity -- it's a "death to anyone who is different" attitude. I live in the burbs, but I used to live in the city and it did not come close to the vibrancy of other cities.

DC has a lot to offer. I grew up here and I love it in a lot of ways. But the people just ruin it.[/quote]
