[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is the only region I have ever lived in where people seem to really push back against picking guests up. So I think it's regional vs an age thing. Or maybe people in DC are just less kind than elsewhere.[/quote]

It's a city thing. You don't expect relatives in NYC to pick you up at the airport. [/quote]

Speak for yourself. 
I lived in Manhattan & Brooklyn my entire life, and I've always picked up friends/relatives.
Ten miles isn't really an excuse to not be considerate.

If you have a car, okay. If you don’t it makes literally zero sense to get a cab/car service/Uber to the airport, meet your peeps, and then get ANOTHER cab/car service/Uber back. I never meet my parents when they visit me in Brooklyn, and they don’t expect it. In fact, they  would be horrified at the superfluous time and expense of such an endeavor.[/quote]

Lived in Manhattan for over a decade and never went to the airport to pick up relatives.  They used taxis without any problem.[/quote]
