What is the gentrifier's obsession with being urban? 
Then when they end up in urban situations such as a robbery or a shooting they complain about it. 
LOL

I don't know. I think not complaining about it is a bigger problem. Why would you simply accept robbery and shooting? Are robberies and shootings the sort of thing you think we should have more of?

Whenever someone wants to go back to "old DC" I remember trash piling up in the streets, no plowing, government shutdowns, people complaining about gentrification, DCPS hating charter schools....wait, actually nothing has changed at all.

Yeah man there was nothing in DC until the transplants came here and blessed the locals with block after block of CVS, Starbucks & Whole Foods. [/quote]
I remember 14th street, burnt out and boarded up houses on 13th street, needle all over Logan Circle. People scared to leave their homes...great times! [/quote]
