haha nice try, but I never said that Philly DT was better. I only admitted they you guy's do in fact have a better Public School system, which pains me to say really isn't that hard to beat because most schools in DC (City Proper) generally suck.
As far as DT's go especially according to the criteria listed in this thread I still like ours better.

One thing about the DC Metro that fascinates me is that the whole area is booming SO much right now. Entire new towns/town centers are being built in MoCo, PG, even Charles County, not even bringing up the VA side or the city itself. I see on a regular basis why DC's Finest and DMV talk with so much confidence about DC. Makes me jealous that type of growth isn't happening at home. There's no reason Camden shouldn't be the Arlington/Alexandria to Philly.

Also, neither Philadelphia public schools or DC publics schools are anything to talk about. Both need vast improvement.
Back on downtowns though, I don't really see why the "urban canyon" thing kept being brought up earlier. Even if I am near a three-story building block somewhere in Center City, there are still really tall buildings in every direction you look. Obviously, I would prefer if the three-story buildings were six, but I don't think it takes away from Center City at all. At the end of the day, three stories vs. six stories isn't really that much of a difference, especially if there are still really tall buildings all around.
