[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't particularly like DC, and I love many cities around the world and in the US.

People don't like to admit it, but [b]black-white relationships in DC are horrible.  There is no middle class.  The public schools are not good.  The elitism of the NW residents has virtually no equal anywhere else in the US.  [/b]The younger residents seem old before their time and just waiting to stop playing kickball and take up shuffleboard.

Some of the architecture is nice, but there is nothing that truly soars or inspires.  The federal buildings are mostly bland.  Once you've seen the monuments and museums once, that is enough.  And, of course, the centers of government in DC are largely failures.  Obama is feckless, Congress is worthless, and the Supreme Court is not remotely in tune with the lives of average Americans.

I would agree with all of this, esp the bolded part.  Also, there is very little soul, or character, like you would find in a working class city like Baltimore, or dynamism and creative energy like you'd find in NY or SF, or history like you'd find in an old New England town.  It's a very pleasant, walkable city with great playgrounds and tons of entertainment for kids (museums, lots of free events), a very educated population, but a very bland core.  [/quote]
