[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly think there are some people who are so obsessed with bashing the suburbs that they sit in their apartments and make up threads to try and make city living sound more attractive.  The OP doesn't sound like a real person to me, at least not one that I'd want to know.  [/quote]

And I honestly think there are suburban people who are working off a 1994 paradigm about the District of Columbia that's just not true anymore.   They have outdated notions about what the city is like, what the schools are like, what the neighborhoods are like, etc.  None of their notions are based on what are facts TODAY.  The just can't get past their old ideas.  If you asked them, for example, which neighborhood is conventionally "safer"- Glover Park or Petworth- they wouldn't be able to tell you, because they really don't know a thing about DC.  They just know the city is not for them.  If you say you like it, that you want to stay in the city, for some reason they can't accept it.  They have to bring up all the tired old tropes about the bad old days. [/quote]

If the city is so great why is there no traffic into the city at night. Wouldn't there be a rush hour to get to this great city from jobs.  No, because most people don't want to live in the city, they are only forced to go there for work.

There are plenty of jobs In the burbs and the city has a very failing future.

I would love to live in a townhome in Georgetown but can't afford it. People move to suburbs because they want space and can't afford that space in the city. If they could many (not all) would stay.[/quote]

People move to suburbs for lots of reasons.  People who want space and can't afford that amount of space are just some of them.
