My condolences
(for being so close to DC)
(for being so close to DC)
DC has its problems but I'll say that the recession didn't hit us anywhere near as hard as elsewhere. Lots of work and real estate prices have held up.
Just the impression I get whenever I am in DC (near the capital, etc.) of an air of superiority over us minions coming from the lowly rest of the country that they are caring for.
DC is poor as sh*t. It's just that one spot around the center that's stupid-rich, and most of those people are politicians and lobbyists from your same lowly part of the country. So basically it's your neighbors who decide they know what's best for you, and move to where they have poor neighbors and $1 houses nearby just so they can tell you how to live.
