[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we please make it so that if you don't live in DC (i.e., the Fairfax, Bethesda etc.) you don't get to bitch about raising children in DC?  Please, go on about how tough it is to raise your children in the burbs - but don't complain about DC - because you don't live there.[/quote]

Nope.  Because like it or not, the suburbs are really part of the broader National Capital Region, and in some ways there are similarities between suburbs and portions of the district that are more comparable than various parts of the district.  Ashburn is as different from the Palisades as the Palisades is different from Anacostia.  Georgetown probably has more in common with Old Town Alexandria than it does with Capitol Heights.

So can we make it such that if we bitch about DC we don't do it if we live west of the park?  Washington DC is the big city anchor for the burbs, it just so happens that there are three jurisdictions involved.  If we lived in Boston, would you say that people who live in Cambridge couldn't complain about Boston?  [/quote]
