[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM isn't a very representative forum. It primarily attracts residents of DC and close-in suburbs, who engage in a tremendous amount of group-think about what "people," or at least The People Who Matter, supposedly want. It also attracts a smaller number of folks who live further out. These folks get annoyed that the DCUM hive-mind says living in a small, old, house in a walkable neighborhood is the epitome of good living, but can't stop reading. They make up for their smaller numbers with the sheer volume of their posts about places like Pimmit Hills, Chantilly and Leesburg. These two groups battle daily for the hearts and minds of both area residents and potential newcomers. Each day is a new opportunity to explain that Capitol Hill is really extremely safe and very family-friendly; that the best dining to be found outside the Beltway is at Applebee's; that Arne Duncan sends his kids to school in Arlington; and/or that every house built before WW II with less than 3,000 SF is not a Shake Shack, but a Shit Shack. Not taking any of this very seriously is one key to a happy life. [/quote] I'm OP. I feel if they love their live, that's great. Sincerely. What I find so damn bug-under-a-microscope interesting is their pre-occupation with other people's lives to the point where they tell them how they should live. [/quote]
