[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, [b]and describe more specifically what they find attractive about DC.  [/b]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]

My family and friends are here - that about sums it up.

If you're not impressed with what you've seen so far, stay where you are.  I mean it with all sincerity.  If you're just lukewarm now, the day to day living will only make you hate DC.
