[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am white, born on a military base and I arrived in DC soon after my birth.

I am a transplant but have lived all over the area since I was an infant.

Yes I have traveled extensively especially after high school.

I think the recent wave of mostly white transplants to the DC area some of the lamest people I have ever come across in my entire life.

I totally agree.  I think that's the problem most natives have with the transplants.  Cities like Los Angeles and Portland attract interesting, dynamic, creative, free thinking individuals.  DC just attracts the most white-bread, policy wonk types.  My dad always calls them the "milk monitor" types.  :lol:

And this was fine when transplants were trickling in.  But now they are arriving in droves and turning DC into the most dull, lame place.[/quote]I know we've discussed this already but the theater scene here is far from boring.  You may not like the policy wonk types but there's a lot of cool stuff happening in theater -- to which the policy wonks (like me) go.[/quote]

No no, we all get that.  There is some great art in DC (used to be way more artists) and then the policy wonks become attracted the kind of "controlled creativity" they see and start moving in, driving rents up, and driving artists out.  And slowly the city becomes a boring, Panera-infested shithole.[/quote]

Very true.
