The current politics and culture of the city is northern secular liberal, and that is the direction it will stay in. Not southern theocratic conservative. Arguing it is southern is basically borderline delusional and removed from factual reality of what it is now. Stressing the past that no longer exists is ignoring it's present reality as part of the northeastern megalopolis, northeastern rail lines, etc. DC may have been southern at one point, but that point is long past, it is now northeastern, and mid-Atlantic, and above all not southern.

Why would anyone want to be part of something as dystopian sounding as a megalopolis? This megalopolis also includes camden ,wilmington, newark, and tons of places other than boston and new york that would be in the northeast corridor.

I dont know why anyone would want to be a part of some hellish sprawling northeast megalopolis, the traffic here is already the worst gridlock in the nation. If n.virginia/DC/south maryland continues to grow like its projections say it will and doesnt do something about smart growth and continues to sprawl it may join the worlds worst cities for traffic like mexico city or istanbul, there is already hellish traffic now.

At least the southeast has nice and for the most part uncrowded beaches outside of alot of south florida , I dont even know how you would fix newark or camden and alot of the places in the "megalopolis". if the sprawling northeast megalopolis/corridor is our future, it is going to be a hellish one. It is already hellish in the present around rush hour now
