Nah.  There is no SanFRan east or Manhattan south, etc.  the cities always stay the hub.  As much as Arlington has transformed, it still isn't DC.  Is the Smithsonian and White House relocating to Tyson's city?  [/quote]

My family has been here for generations.  And I do not know 1 single person with a job downtown ("the district" or "in DC" for all you migrant peoples) except 1) fed government employees, 2) lobbyists, and 3) lawyers.  All other professional jobs are almost entirely NOT in DC.

Everybody else I know with a job in the entire DC area either works in Tysons Corner, Herndon/Reston, the 270 corridor (health care), and I know 1 single person with a job in Arlington.  And I am from Takoma Park btw.[/quote]
Three categories of workers you listed (feds, lawyers, lobbyists) are quite numerous and very solvent, so they alone could very well sustain DC as a job center. Add World Bankers, embassies, brand non-profits and you have quite an employment center.[/quote]

I hate to burst your brain, but there is this whole world out there outside of politics/feds/diplomatic relations, lawyers, and the world bank.  Like, most of educated society.  As for non-profits, tons of those are in Alexandria.[/quote]
I don't quite understand the hostility in your response. I didn't question your statement that many professional jobs are based outside of DC, or dump on Tysons/Herndon/etc,  just pointed out that the exception groups you listed are quite numerous, taken alone.  What's with the brain-busting remark?[/quote]
