[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Transplant who has lived in DC metro since 70's. I have moved away and come back a few times and have lived here permanently since 1990.

Yes, DC was more interesting in the 70's and early 80's, but don't take any crap from the natives.  The natives anywhere are the losers who never left the comfort of the tribe and its support network.

It is ok to be grow up in DC and come back.  But to have never left?   LOSER .......[/quote]

I think this about people in my hometown too. They are positive that there isn't a better place to live in the world, and it's the "best", totally buying into their own hype. How would they even know when they've literally never left the immediate area, not even for college?

Every older generation thinks that the upcoming generation is "ruining" their space. No city can remain the same decade after decade, [b]you should be happy that your city is adapting and welcoming to newcomers.[/b] I never thought that we would see a great American city like Detroit crumble to near ruins in our lifetime, but there we have it. Embrace change and get used to it. [/quote]

Welcoming to newcomers? 
By robbing them and mugging them on a daily basis and in some cases physically beating them into a bloody pulp?
That is welcoming and adapting to them?[/quote]
