[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look forward to city living again when the kids are out of school in a few years. But we will downsize to a real city, possibly abroad, not a depressing company town like DC.[/quote] As someone who grew up in a "real city" in Europe I always wonder what Americans have in mind when they say this. DC, while relatively small, is very much a real city to me.[/quote] Not much diversity in DC - mostly rich or poor, black or white Little interesting street life, the "culture" is institutionalized rather than organic Mostly bureaucrats with few artists, musicians or artisans (far more takers than makers) Lots of dangerous areas, mediocre public transportation More like Ottawa or Brasilia than a top-tier city Overall a B- or C+ urban destination [/quote] If you think DC is dangerous and non-diverse I don't think you've spent much time in 'real' top-tier cities like Paris or Los Angeles. Good luck with that move.[/quote]
