Folks got the wrong impression but it's on me for how I worded the original post. Intent was actually the opposite of "shit testing". It was to demonstrate that there are folks with strong roots to DC (however you want to define it) that are here to stay.

I keep seeing folks will be like "DC is so transient" or "everybody is a transplant" here, suggesting implying some type of shallow or inauthentic collective (or individual) connection to the city. My view is that this is not true.
