Agreed. Truly a unique thing that I noticed. I also say where my kid was born. The hospital made my birthing and parenting experience so much better.

Completely false. The Federal government is the reason that many people stay in DC, both transplants and "natives". DC natives are not interested in political appointee positions or climbing the political ladder of Fed work. But many enjoy public service work. When I first started working for the Feds, back in the 2000s as an intern, many people were native to DC and taught me the ropes.

I have been in the same office for 16 years! I think most people want stability. Some are built for moving and grooving through agencies, consulting firms and job titles. Some just want to clock in, do their job, clock out and go home.
