[quote=Anonymous]You are not a gentrifier. I was a gentrifier when I bought there back in 2001 when there were just empty lots and no one out walking past dark. Our house was the most anyone had paid for a house in our block by about $100,000 - but it was beautiful. Our neighbors complained when we all went to protest the Giant being built so big with no green space - that's how I found out. But, then I gave everyone a ride back home and had cognac on our front porches. I loved that neighborhood. Felt like a true community. If you want to do some good to ease your soul - send your kids to Tubman and help turn that school around! Vote for politicians who want affordable housing. Don't try to shut down the public housing around 13th and Columbia. Support vocational efforts at Cardoza and the Marion Barry summer job program. And don't complain about crap. Finally, say hello!
