[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Many DC families have only stayed because they are underwater on their homes. Once it rises, absent a good school, the middle class will flee DC again.[/quote]
I live in the city - part of the actual city, not one of those in-the-city-but-has-much-more-in-common-with-a-suburb" neighborhoods.  ...[/quote]

You and I are on the same side of the "families will flee" debate, but you really undermine your point with this bullshit sort of statement.  You sound like Sarah Palin asserting who is part of the "real America."  Ugh.  Get over yourself.[/quote]

That's a fair point, but maybe you can explain something to me.  (For real, no snark.)  I understand people who live in the "urban" parts of DC, such as it is - close to a metro, walkable to lots of things, etc.  I understand people who live in the near suburbs - it may be me someday.  I even understand people who live in the exurbs - it'll never be what I want, but I see their reasons.  But I cannot for the life of me understand people who live in side the DC city limiys in a suburban lifestyle.  It seems like the worst of both worlds - you don't get the benefits of actually living in an urban environment, but you have all of the irritations of any DC resident (and they are legion).  So - what gives?  Why do you do it?   [/quote]
