[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is unusual in that it has a great deal of affluence and education, but relatively little culture (aside from the awesome, federally-funded museums) compared to other major cities.

I think this is largely a result of the nature of most of the residents. Very career-oriented and competitive. [/quote]

x2.  And not very artistic.  Free thinking is ostracized and looked down upon here, in contrast to cities that are cultural hubs/influencers [/quote]

How long have you lived here? I'm guessing not very long.[/quote]

I agree with the first 3 posts above.  I have no knowledge of Dallas, so I'm excluding that from my opinion, but DC has way less of a creative soul than LA, Chicago, San Fran etc.  Not completely devoid, but any creative class here is trying in spite of obstacles, and no one really moves here to further their creative ambitions.  Look down upon other areas of the country all you want.  I'm sure they are busy and happy enough that they aren't sparing us a second thought.[/quote]

Los Angeles has a population of 4 million people. Chicago has a population of almost 3 million. San Francisco proper is half the area of DC but has almost a million people and the Bay Area has

So forgive me for not feeling too bad that the 600,000 people in DC don't include as many artists. Maybe if we had eight times the population, we'd have eight times the number of "cultured" people. [/quote]
