Not a bully but a class clown. I only threw the corn references after he called me a few names. Go back and read.

That's fine.
But it's not a better city.
You may prefer it, but it doesn't offer more.

It's a jab to you because it's true.

Not even a comparison between the two, not even the same Level of City. Chicago is on that Million Factor, DC has is not even close. True both are dense urban places but I can easily see Chicago as a mid western NYC borough.

Chicago is a great city on its own merits but it looks nothing like NYC. Feels nothing like NYC.

You know you got your feelings hurt when I said DC wasn't NE in another thread, and how it's not as fast-paced as Chicago. That's when you started crying like a little kid, and why I had to call you out. Grow up bro!!! Everyone on here constantly has to call you out on your BS and nonsense.

What is a corn joke??? Come up with some reall comebacks bro! You're making yourself look like a clown. That's why I had to call you out in the first place little man!

And you are catching on really quickly...

It's called the "reaching" effect- anything and everything in order to stay relevant and keep from seeming inferior.

I haven't started yet but it’s a very unique DC thing. It's an inferiority complex and which is why DC needs to stay out of these conversations. It's a great city and serves a unique purpose that no other city can compete with. But it falls short in many other areas in terms of culture, social activities, etc. But the problem is that DC always wants to be part of the conversation despite saying that it isn't interested in any of that stuff. That’s when the master’s degree, education, pricing, and stats come out. It really looks bad.

It's called an inferiority complex.

Attention D.C. Posters


You do not have to argue with all these outsiders from other cities. D.C. is BOOMING and cranes rise on a new corner daily it seems. We are adding million's of square feet in housing, retail, hotel's, etc. etc. and D.C. is changing faster than any city in the nation compared to what it was 20 years ago.

We don't have to feel inferior to anybody nor do we need to apologize for what is happening in our city. Haters....as you were!!!

D.C. posters, please exit from this foolishness.

It's not only that poster, it's DC as a whole but I don't fault them.

However, Like I said, DC has no bidness being involved in these or certain other discussions. It should be involved in discussions that represents it better. Fast pace has nothing to do with structural compliances, zoning, and stats alone. It doesn't even have anything to do with transit alone. It's a combined effort of all those coupled with the working class culture.

If you have garages and restaurants that close on weekends 2 blocks away from the white house, due to offices being closed, this is a factor that plays into the aesthetics of a city.
