   But that's just the media. Same thing's happened with everywhere in the USA   
   I've lived except New York, Ann Arbor, and San Francisco. Definitely the   
   case here in DC. Unless the place is so superlatively excellent that it's   
   just generally accepted as a wonderful place, the only things that make news   
   are those confirming whatever negative stereotype the city has.
