[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. People don't think DC is very exciting/a good city. Very different from other cities like NYC or the Bay area. [/quote]

If that is true why has the Times written a string of articles like this http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/04/fashion/04Washington.html
That obsessively track the nght life scene and development in DC?[/quote]

There are articles like this about every city (really bad, dinky cities). Not sure this proves anything. The fact is that most people do not want to live on DC. It just isn't that great. [/quote]There is not enough money to make me live in DC even though it would be very convenient for work.  In 4 years, I'm relocating to Chicago or San Francisco.  I have no problem with big, crowded cities but DC falls flat.  Good work opportunities, though.[/quote]

Again, then why are you on DCUM? If you don't like DC, why identify as a DC parent? What do you see as positive or are you just trolling?[/quote]

I live in the DC metro area. Just not in DC. You do realize that the interwebz is available to everyone, right?  And that most topics on here don't just pertain to those who live in the district. [/quote]

True, but you brought it up. Obviously somehow you see DC in yourself enough to comment on this thread. You criticized DC generally but don't seem to have any specific complaints, save for a vague plan to move some day.  You sound directionless.[/quote]

Horrible schools, failing infrastructure, corrupt government, safety issues. [/quote]

Still vague, and you still haven't given one affirmative reason why you identify as parent who would get anything out of DCUM. For all I know, you could be a troll living in your grandmother's basement in the middle of nowhere who never even stepped foot into town. You just don't seem to have anything positive or meaningful to say, other than to malign people who you don't know, but who at least add to DC's tax base by enjoying our restaurants and nightclubs. As a Native Washingtonian, I welcome them, even if you look down on them or DC because DC's a great place to live, work and have fun. The fact that you're here belies that, whatever your future destination, you're not in a rush to leave.
