Those billionaire dollars we've been seeing flow into D.C. are growing.
Goldman Sachs is the main backer behind the Wharf Phase 2 project. O.O

| Yes, let’s pour more wealth into this gilded area so that it becomes the next NYC or San Francisco. |

Um, yes please? |

It's already well on its way. D.C. median rent is about 85% of San Francisco's and 60% of New York City's. Getting more expensive every day. But beyond that...this is making our city an A+ destination for rich property owners. Good for my own investments. |

| Bubble. Why pour money into this swamp? |

You wish. The bubble breathers have been bubbling about a (second) recession since 2013. D.C. is just exploding. Sorry that sucks for you. |

+1. Most of the metro area is ugly and boring, unlike most other “destinations.” |

This is on a forum where people regularly crow that unless your budget is $1M+ you can't get into the good school districts. Why are you so sore that the city as a whole is having a renaissance and positively affecting property values for homeowners at the same time? |

Yes, the metro area sucks. But we aren't talking about Reston here. The Wharf is in D.C. and it is absolutely stunning. You try having a dinner date at dusk on the water, it is sublime. |

It is going to suck for thousands people, but who cares? You have yours. |

It will hurt more people than it helps. |

Dude, I'm a millennial and I worked damned hard for what I have (one home and one rental). I'm sorry you spent all your money on happy hours and nice vacations but with a little foresight maybe you (and others) could get in too. |

Screw you. I’m a property owner too, but unlike you and most of your generation, I give a damn about people besides myself. Don’t put yourself up on a pedestal. You are not that special. |
