[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of people who moved to the suburbs want to make sure they retroactively justify their decision.  [/quote]

Are you suggesting they are commiting crimes in the city?[/quote]

No, I am saying that, having decided to leave DC, they have to exaggerate everything that is wrong with DC (and lord knows, its not perfect) to continually justify that decision in their minds.

I know that people in the burbs are going to read this and get all defensive about it, but its plain as day here on DCUM. [/quote]

Are you suggesting I have to minimize that my house on Capital Hill was broken in twice? One time by the crazy person with an axe? Or that my car window was smashed in the middle of the winter to steal some pennies from the cup holder? So if I tell this story to someone, I will be exaggerating everything? I don't need to justify my decision to move to NoVa. But I also should not be precluded to state the facts without being accused of exaggerating. DC is a SH to raise the family. It is just a matter of time until one becomes a victim of crime. Yes, I lived in big cities, and London and Paris are not much better these days. [/quote]

I believe phrase is "You held an open house for your neighbors twice."[/quote]
