LOL at the poll. I guess having lived in numerous cities (DC included) and traveled extensively, I just can't see how DC is fast paced.. It's mind boggling to me.

^^^Because you were in (CLARENDON) Arlington! Plus your credibility took a nose dive when you said Cleveland was faster paced than DC!

Would suburban northern NJ and suburban western CT be lumped into NYC, or exclusive? If they were distinct, I'd rank both of these environments faster pace than any place around Chicago or Los Angeles.

Same here, I think that some are baseing it on it's prestiege as the nation's capital.

For the DC haters!

Second busiest subway system after NYC (almost 900,000 riders)
3rd largest CBD after NYC & Chicago
Second worse traffic after LA (rush hour starts at 5am and ends at 10am)
DT daytime population swells by 400,000

In half of these cities, people don't even jaywalk! Fast paced = the rush of a city. BillyJac, Next time you are in DC, stand to the left on a subway escalator and see what happens!
