[quote=Anonymous]Comparatively speaking, the difference between city and suburbs is not as great in the DC area as in the NYC area, for a host of reasons: - Easier to get to the city from the DC suburbs than the NYC suburbs - Less of a wealth disparity in general (wealthy DC suburbs are similar to wealthy NYC suburbs but the high-end wealth in DC is nothing like the UES, Tribeca, etc.) - DC accounts for a considerably smaller percentage of the DC metropolitan area than NYC relative to the NYC metropolitan area. That's not to say there isn't some city/suburb rivalry in the DC area; this forum provides ample evidence of that. But, overall (and I say this as someone who used to live in Manhattan), the difference is just not as great. When people leave NYC for the suburbs, it's viewed as a total lifestyle change/act of treason by their friends remaining in the city. When people leave DC for the suburbs, it's viewed as common sense. [/quote]
