What are you doing to play a part in preventing gentrification?

We’ll comrades, you’re getting more of what you want. The Walmart on h street is closing. Who knew that theft would drive away business? I guess you’ll get your utopian gentrification-free paradise soon if this keeps up. It’s so important to preserve a neighborhood’s decay in amber. Don’t you think? It’s so much nicer when we don’t have nice things.

The H St Walmart was getting robbed blind. Have you ever been there at night? People walking out with giant TVs under their arms, people blatantly stuffing their winter jackets with all kinds of stuff, it's just anything goes.

Send your children to the local public school, whatever it is, and get really involved in it to improve it.

Some of us do

Theft is a cornerstone of the alt left. Utopia!

Nice things!? It's a Walmart. Speaking as a nearby gentrifier, we didn't go there, precisely because it wasn't very nice at all, and it had significant issues with keeping the shelves stocked. I'd much rather go to the Target in Ivy City (which, incidentally, doesn't seem to have nearly the same problems with either theft or stock).

Perhaps Walmart's problem is that (for a myriad of reasons) no one in DC really respects them as a business. That's on them.

I don't care about having or not having a Walmart but DC Walmarts suck, they are arranged like prisons and treat everyone as criminals.

To be fair, DC folks are deep into crimes.

Gentrification is the reason DC is still inhabitable.

To be fair, many of the shoppers at DC Walmart's are in fact criminals.

Not PP but PP is saying that DC would be dead right now if people had not come in and fixed parts of it. Hard to argue with that.

+1. High percentage of criminals attend DC Walmart’s.

Gentrification causes people to lack homes.

Not working causes people to lack homes. Bartenders can live in gentrified neighborhoods, so stop whining and get a job.

Yeah right, just working any job will allow someone to get approved for a $1400/month apt
