[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a really stupid thread.  So far all we've learned is that rich, spoiled, sheltered kids in Upper NW and Montgomery County who grew up and went to school together tend to stick together.  How does that differentiate them from rich, spoiled, sheltered kids in any other suburb anywhere else?   [/quote]

This is 100% true in this town.

Unlike other cities such as Boston and Baltimore, DC natives don't form closed off social circles.  Social mobility is purely based on money (or political power since it's usually monetized later)
That's not necessarily a virtuous thing: [b]it's just more of a user culture[/b].  If you can help me, you're in.  [/quote]

Native here (Capitol Hill, age 29). This is my impression of transplants in general: they're here to advance their career and make connections, not to form community nor improve the city at large. [b]Very exploitative.[/quote][/b]

What the hell would a transplant ever (ever) need from a local who could never (ever) afford to live here, had they moved here now?

Oh, honey.

Who do you think makes up the rank and file at Chevy Chase, Congo, and the other country clubs?  Who do you think is sending their kids to the best private schools?

Hate to tell you, my friend- it ain't transplants.

[b]But maybe if you repeat it a few more times it will come true!  [/b] :lol: [/quote]

Are you talking to yourself?  You sound crazy.  Let it go. Everything will be alright for you, someday.

Sure, ignore everything else the PP said, that's a great strategy....  :lol:  :lol:

Talk about crazy...[/quote]
