[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Turns out Democrats are huge fans of gentrification. SORRY POOR PEOPLE! No one is going to defend you from scumbag developers. Not in DC. [/quote]

Are you referring to the defenseless poor people who live near Guapo's?[/quote]

This is one of the more cynical and frankly disgraceful arguments the Density Bros. make.

They make a big to-do about wanting to build more in some rich white neighborhood like Spring Valley. Not because they think it will make a difference, or because they think it will even happen (it won't, on either count). But because it distracts from how their policies are forcing low-income minorities en masse to leave the city in order to make way for luxury condos for white people.

DC has the worst gentrification problem in the country, and more poor people here get pushed out than anywhere else.

And no one cares.

Eh. Talk to the people who live in Spring Valley. They're the ones who are objecting.[/quote]

The Density Bros likely don’t care much about Spring Valley.  But they have a raging hard-on for Cleveland Park.[/quote]
