[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in my late 50s and have lived in DC since I graduated college in the early 1980s, so I have longer perspective on this. DC has been considered an expensive city all this time,with articles on how COL here was higher than most other US cities even back in the '80s and '90s. That's why I'm surprised a poster said that in 1998 she had a Dupont Circle apartment for $600. I don't think they were that low then. What has happened is that the fairly high COL has accelerated in this century. Could be the influx of defense contractors post 9/11 or the rise of tech and its high salaries, adding to the always high salaries of DC's plethora of lobbyists and lawyers.[/quote] I had a small 2 BR right in DuPont for $1250 in 1999, so i Brodie really PP could have found a “turret” (?) apartment in what used to be called “east DuPont” (16th ttl 14th st.) back then. Before the Whiole Foods opened, prices dropped really sharply east of 16th.[/quote]
