[quote=Anonymous]I was pleasantly surprised to read the content of this thread, as the title seemed like something negative was occurring to the town as a result of political instability.

Anyway, I was born and raised on Capitol Hill in Southeast DC. I live through the Barry years. I still live here. I had numerous bikes stolen and I’ve seen people get stabbed. I’m sorry you missed the gritty past. I don’t. My real estate is worth millions. My kids can now go to public school. I’m sure there’s still incompetence in the local government and in our local agencies, but it’s better than it was.

Dc is not a cool town. It never will be. I guess we had Fugazi and rare essence and the whole go go thing, but this town had so many issues. I like gentrification. There are good restaurants. 8th street se has restaurants and isn’t boarded up. Sht changes. I don’t get people being sad about it. No one has a right to live anywhere they can’t afford. It’s not “displacement” it’s just change. That’s harsh. Go move to Detroit if you want a crappy town with violence. Sorry.[/quote]
