[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Census data is out, and DC's decennial redistricting process is getting underway. One thing is certain, Ward 6 is going to get smaller. This will have a big impact on residential parking if Shaw returns to Ward 2 or Navy Yard gets pulled in Ward 8.

What do you think the new ward map will look like? Are you a Ward 6 resident concerned about losing an RPP that covers half the city and some of the most popular destination neighborhoods? Did you buy a million dollar condo in Navy Yard and dislike the idea of joining a ward heavily associated with the worst neighborhoods EOTR?

Honestly don’t understand why people choose to live around people they seem to disdain so much. Go find your people if you’re unhappy with the people you find yourself around. [/quote] I agree.  Many times new residents start moving in and organizing to make a neighborhood completely different.  They use their relative privilege to get what they want.[/quote]
I think you've missed my point. Presuming you are the PP, you seem to actively despite people with RPPs and those who own condos at the Wharf. What is interesting is that while you are spending all of your time thinking about them, they are spending none of their time thinking about you. If you don't like to live in a neighborhood with people who own cars or live in expensive condos, it is highly recommended that you move to a neighborhood that is more to your liking. No reason to spend your life angry at your neighbors, particularly since they have no clue who you are and could not care less.[/quote]
