DC is like a giant airport in many ways. It's an in-between place. Most of the people there are transient; DC is a layover city, a stepping stone along their path. It's a giant tourist attraction, a city many people visit but few live in. Even the people who work in DC seldom live there. It's not even in a state- DC residents are the only US citizens without real representation.

I could go on at length, but I'll spare you :)
