It’s the high income people in the previously gentrifying areas. The city will lose part of its tax base and I think already is, but will get by with some belt tightening due to the absurd amount of wealth that will stay in WOTP completely unbothered. Their taxes may go up some.

You know there are a lot of wonderful neighborhoods EOTP that have no issues with crime right? Everything does not revolve around WOTP. I live in NE and live in a wonderful part of town. The houses are still going quickly. You are very limited in your thinking of DC.

These people here still think it's like 1995 and going east of 16th street is harrowing. It's absurd.

Beautiful neighborhoods and lots of mixing of nationalities, backgrounds, races, etc occur in tons of neighborhoods east of 16th and north of the capitol complex.

Right. Beautiful neighborhoods where you would never allow your child to attend their local public school. Got it.

So what? I love our EOTP neighborhood even though, no, I won’t send my kids to them past early elementary. I’m happy to admit that to anyone, IDGAF. We’ve got other plans. Still enjoying the neighborhood though.

Your elementary school IS your neighborhood. In normal places, including most of WOTP, it’s the center of the universe for most families. You don’t enjoy your school then you don’t enjoy your neighborhood.

What are you talking about? So childless couples who live in my neighborhood can’t enjoy it because they don’t have kids at the elementary school? We get it, you live in a ‘normal’ place, upper Caucasia.

PP was talking about “most families” which means adult(s) with one or more child. Not childless couples. For example there are few families still living in SF because of the crime and horrible schools, but there are countless couples. This is where DC is heading.
