[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because I *don't* live here, I don't have the data you have.  I am trying to understand what makes it worthwhile.

So, I'm asking people who *do* live here and love it what makes it worthwhile for them.  In response, people keep describing what I already have, and in some cases, less than what I already have, as though it's a mindblowing urban wonderland.

So I'm pointing that out so that they will stop assuming that everything in flyover country is McMansions and Applebee's, and describe more specifically what they find attractive about DC.  I don't have trouble understanding why Paris is worth living rough.  I do have trouble understanding what's special about DC.  And I've spent a lot of time here trying to figure out what people see in it, and coming up short.

I am hoping to see some genuine distinction that will clue me in.

Is this a difficult concept?  [/quote]

Let me get this straight:  you don't live here, but you came on here to ask a bunch of people who DO live here, why it's so great?  We don't have to sell this area to you.  Either move here, or don't.  No skin off our back.  We have given you our best responses; you then got snippy and said you did not like our responses (b/c you too don't have cable or know people who do not or know people who do read or who do not or do live in McMansions or do not or do eat at Applebee's or do not).  If you do not know why DC is great, from already being aware of DC as the nation's capital and what thsi city is all about them, ummm, you probably won't be sold one way or another by random responses on an anonymous internet message board.  Good luck to you![/quote]
