[quote=Anonymous]My experience here is that there are two groups of people who like it here. The first are those in the realm of politics, non-profits, government-associated big law and consulting. This is their professional world and they swim in it. Their kids may stay here after college to join the family business. The second group are the DC natives. Those whose families live here, they went to high school here, know tons of people, etc. They actually operate in their own little worlds. Their kids are very likely to return after college. Then there's the rest of us who have to deal with much of the downside. High cost of living, murderous traffic and a huge group of the entitled and self-important. The behaviors you see at our village shopping area are border-line ridiculous. I don't think you could get away with acting like these people do. It's the size and anonymity that allow it. [/quote]
