[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only is Annapolis not redneck, like, at all, the classism of that accusation is really gross. I guess anywhere more affordable than Fairfax Co is redneck. [/quote]

Classism against an area that is desperate to come off as rich? How can that be possible [/quote]

Annapolis is quite rich relative to truly median America, where I grew up. But of course DCUM is contemptuous of where I grew up too. [/quote]
The idea that people would mock a town as poor where the median family owns a very nice boat is very bizarre. I get a growing sense that people in DC have a lot of anger and hostility mainly driven by their desire to pretend that everywhere else is objectively worse which is why they put up with all of the bad things about living in DC.

Listen, I love DC, but it's a second-tier city at best.  The people who are snobby about other places like Annapolis are just dealing with their sad insecurity that no one puts in DC in the same category as New York or San Francisco or international major cities.  (And again, I love DC!  I don't want to live in those other cities!  But a lot of folks on here seem mighty snobby about a city that just isn't earning those reviews...)[/quote]

SF and NYC and a lot of the older 'international major cities' (London, Paris, etc.) are also well on their way to massive suckage. It's tired middlebrow to think otherwise.

Where to live is increasingly a game of pick your poison. Thinking you can outrun harsh realities is a game that belongs well in the past.[/quote]
