[quote=Anonymous]Transplant married to a native.

This thread is ridiculous.

The 0.5% of transplants who can't stand DC and either think it is too busy, rude, expensive, and full of traffic?   You just can't hack it.

The 0.5% of transplants from NY/London/Paris who say that DC isn't a real city and can't compete with the bright lights back home?  You're pathetic.   I don't know why you are so insecure.  Try to get out some instead of sitting around lamenting what you left behind.

The 1% of DC natives who can't stop moaning about how DC isn't like it was in the glory days, and about how all the transplants can't pronounce Glover Park correctly or stand on the left or some other nonsense?  Get over yourselves.  Cities change.  That's what happens.  If you can't hack it, go ahead and leave.

The other 99% of you?  You guys are great.   The mix of natives and transplants, young and old, the whole shebang - you all mix together and make DC a great place to live.  This transplant loves it here, and his native wife does too.   And neither of us can wait to see what happens next in our awesome city.[/quote]
