There's no faulting anyone for living where they like. And just because a DC neighborhood might not be well known doesn't mean it doesn't have amenities and has lots of problems. It's more a response to the "Wah! I can't live in DC!" When, if you really want that, you can. Maybe you just can't live in the heart of Columbia Heights.[/quote]
I think here again, you refuse to understand (or to accept) that when people say "live in the city", they imply a certain set of amenities that makes the city.  Not that their house must have a dc zipcode.[/quote]

You clearly know very little about DC.  One of the most expensive neighborhoods in DC proper (the country actually) is VERY suburban - Chevy Chase.  Most people use the bus to get to the Metro station and there is very little retail (other than the broad branch market) within the sfh residential part of the neighborhood.  However, it is clearly highly desirable (considering the median sale price of sfh is now over 1 million) and I bet those people consider themselves to be very much in the city.[/quote]
You clearly are trying very hard to misunderstand. People who live in Chevy Chase aren't gripped by anguish that they can't afford "to live in the city." They clearly have opted (not were forced to, opted) to live where they live.   Would you advise the frustrated milennials to move to Chevy Chase-DC? No? Do you think it's the Chevy Chase way of life they are crying about losing?
