It's been on a remarkable upward trajectory for the past 15 years, certainly the "most improved" city in the US. I have spoken to many well-traveled Europeans, and they LOVE DC. Even more than they like Boston and NYC (but maybe not as much as San Fran...). I think to be liberal, in a way, invites self-loathing. You're always looking at ways things could be better, and disappointed that things are not and idealism quickly fades. But that is another discussion entirely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
