[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People in DC are trained to believe that DC is superior to everywhere else -- that's why they have to disparage other places like this. Criticisms like urban sprawl, lacks character, etc. -- these apply to DC also, but folks here will never acknowledge it because then they'd be admitting that they're paying tons of money to live in a pretty soulless, high-crime area with terrible housing stock and schools that aren't as good as those in other areas.[/quote]

I mean, go move back to BFE Indiana or Ohio or Michigan or wherever and celebrate the awesomeness of sameness. The benefit of DC and the DC area, especially for those of us that grew up in the Carmels of the world is the wealth of opportunity right at your door in terms of diversity, history, educational and other opportunities. Everyone in Carmel went to the same colleges, have the same friends as when they were kids, put their kids in the same organizations that they were in, and generally sit around and talk about how great it all is. And if that is great for you, then wonderful! You've found your place.

The DC area certainly has its drawbacks, but people aren't trained to believe it's superior. It IS superior in so many measurable respects if your goal is to live in a place with more going on then Carmel, IN for your whole life. And there's nothing wrong with that.[/quote]
