[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This conversation is like when people build subdivision in the middle of the forest, and start to complain about the deer eating their hydrangeas.  The world doesn't change because of your gentrifying presence.  The churches have been in DC long before the DC millennial newcomers (your manifest destiny spirit is showing). It doesn't matter where the congregants live, and people can go to church wherever they want.  I am positive that there are a number of white congregants, around the country, who travel to attend their church.  Why should it be different for Black churchgoers in DC?

If parking rules aren't don't apply on Sundays, then no laws are being broken.[/quote]

[b]The rules apply, they're not being enforced. There is a difference.[/quote][/b]

Also, if you live on the Hill you get a residential parking tag.  That allows you to park, if you're lucky, near your home.  The problem is that the churchgoers (all skin types) illegally block in the owners/tenants on Sunday mornings.  Please to ushers won't help.  You have to walk to the police station and ask to get the car towed so you can go to work (yes on a Sunday) or the emergency room.  It's just wrong.  It also creates a major fire hazard for the fire department because the streets are too narrow where this is happening.  I don't know why the churches just realize this is inappropriate and rude and tell their congregation to come five minutes early to find a legal parking place.[/quote]
