[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing I've noticed about DMV is that a lot of people seem a generation removed from small town Pennsylvania, the South etc., so I guess these tensions are pretty common.  Very different dynamic from the New York area.[/quote]

Yeah - lots more Pa, southern, and Midwestern folks here, so I feel like they wrestle with this issue more esp. if their family in Pa, southern, or Midwestern hometown isn't full of professionals. When I lived in NYC, it felt like practically every one of my peers was raised in Long Island, Westchester, Northern NJ, or CT -- they were used to a middle class life and more and no one in their family was jealous of living in Manhattan in a $2500 studio; often their parents/grandparents did that at a young age and then settled in LI etc. so they knew the positives/negatives of NYC life. Way different when your rural Pa. family can't possibly imagine any career positives in DC - or is SO jealous that they won't acknowledge it - and then they cling to -- you left bc you think you're better than us.[/quote]
