[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course there's a bad reputation. People just put up with a lot to be close to the metro and the DC USA build-out.

Columbia Heights was horrible when I moved here 11 years ago and its just as bad today. If you chose to move there knowing that it had 'issues' that's on you.[/quote]

Now imagine the DCUSA site as a trash-filled vacant lot, the Tivoli complex rotting away, zero new condo buildings and perhaps the worst Giant in DC and you can imagine what it was like 20 years ago, when I lived there. There were basically zero restaurants apart from a few Chinese-food places and (I think) a Subway, few businesses apart from the aforementioned awful Giant and bulletproof-glass liquor stores and next to zero foot traffic after dark on 14th, making it a street to avoid.

So yeah, it's way better than it was. But putting a poorly designed shopping mall and a few cheaply built luxury apartment building there clearly isn't the solution, as we've all seen over the years.[/quote]
