[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "community" for your neighbors (and kids friends parents) is where they are from, not where they are now for a few-10 years.

[b]The real DC community is focused around old DC money[/b] - no one new ever breaks into that. Otherwise it's a patchwork of people outside what they feel their real communities are. This is part of the reason ever bar in DC is effectively an out of town sports bar for some team or other. [/quote]

This is simply not true. DC native here. It used to be Chocolate City, and there's still a wonderful warmth here that is not dependent on money.[/quote]

Sad way to look at life.  You can go to any city in the world, define some elite, and cry they are the “real” city and you are not invited to their parties.

City belongs to all; city belongs to none.   You make your own party in this life.[/quote]

It’s especially pathetic given how little “old money” exists in this government town that has no real tradition of entrepreneurship.[/quote]

Yeah, maybe graham family and their circle?   Or this is a young person who thinks Steve case has old money.[/quote]

Lots of middle class families [b]30 years ago cashed out their houses and galavant around proclaiming old money status.[/b] Old money in DC is a joke, the whole place runs on the government pulling money out of the 48 other states and giving and unfairnshare back to the DC Metro and then pulling doe eyed dongoodersa and power player wannabes into the meat grinder that is politics. Or in other words, always new money and usually someone else’s money.[/quote]

LOL. Considering one could easily buy a house in Langley for about low 200k thirty years ago, hope they are not bragging too much. [/quote]
