[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50% FARMS...  A naive person might ask, "How is it that a city with so many high-income, high powered opportunities, where the brightest and most talented people from all over the country, and for that matter come from all over the world to work, has so many low-income families?"

I'll tell the truth that nobody wants to hear - it's the co-dependent clinging.  Low-income residents stay because of the overly generous social safety net to keep them here, and DC politicians cling to that infrastructure and keep it in place because they know they can control and manipulate those votes.

Everyone knows it, but nobody wants to admit it.[/quote]

I will completely agree with you on an anonymous board...lol
There is little motivation to get out of the low-income bracket to middle....where you get no help at all and are thrown to the wolves...might as well stay low SES where you are safe and sound, sometimes insurance, housing costs and childcare makes me wonder why we work so hard to be in the low middle[/quote]

Go live in the hood then, no ones stopping you. In fact go all out, give away all your possessions including your car, do a house swap in Barry Farms, quit your job and go on welfare. We'll check in with you next year to see how you're doing!!!![/quote]
