[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need to justify yourself much? DC is still the center of the region, the suburbs are the suburbs. Tysons Corner has done nicely attracting business, the tech corridor in Reston likewise, but they are still burbs. But good try.[/quote]

hm, no.  I disagree.  Only a small percentage of Washingtonians (natives) actually live downtown, DC itself is very teeny, and it is mostly just a center for federal government buildings and for lawyers.  All other industries and retail are all mostly based outside of the DC limits.  And real Washingtonians mostly prefer to live [i]"inside the beltway"[/i] - not downtown.  especially now more than ever with the gentrification going on and all you transplants moving in.

What I find terribly ironic in the discourse of chest-thumping DC dwellers is that most of them, when they say "the city", in actuality only mean a very, very tiny sliver of the District.  They haven't visited or ever been in most of DC's zipcodes.  They have nothing in common with residents of these zipcodes. For all that matters, they inhabit different universes. And when they say "Washingtonians", they mean "people just like me".  They don't actually include the vast majority of District residents into their terribly selective concept of "Washingtonian."[/quote]
