[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did it and regretted it.  I missed being able to walk places, and being surrounded by people who care about the things I care about.  As a white person with kids of color, I was also STUNNED by the casual racism that folks threw around in what they perceived as all-white safe spaces.  I lasted three years before I insisted we leave again.[/quote]

That's why it's important for OP to post more info.  The location does make a difference.  Cleveland is not the same as Ann Arbor.[/quote]

I've lived in both.  We all know about Ann Arbor.  But Cleveland is, actually, a progressive, diverse city with a great arts scene, museums, parks, medical facilities, and restaurants.  The weather is not for everyone.  [b]The stupidity and provincialism on this board never cease to amaze.[/b][/quote]
+1 to this statement, but it is highly entertaining and one of the main reasons I come to DCUM.  I also like to encourage them, in various ways, to stay in DC, (or rather, the DC area) because it is the city they deserve, with the people and traffic and stress and commutes they have sought out.  They should accept nothing less!!  Do NOT want them coming to my "flyover" area, and contaminating it with their snobby, yet uninformed condescension.  For god's sake stay on the east coast!  At my workplace, it's always fun to see their faces when they realize many of their coworkers also have excellent educations, have lived in multiple countries, and are innovating in our field.  They usually try to play the Ivy-league card then, not so subtly.  [/quote]
