[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a reason why [b]once people start having kids they move to upper northwest or close-in burbs[/b]. You can defend the crime all you want, though I’m not sure how crime is defensible, but it’s not a conducive environment to raise kids. The city is more alluring for young 20 somethings who come from somewhere else and want to try living in a city while they are young. [/quote]

"People" who?[/quote]

What do you mean “people” who? [b]Any person who has a kid[/b]. Let’s not turn this into something else.[/quote]

PP, perhaps you have noticed that there are many, many people in DC who do not move to upper NW or the close-in suburbs once they start having children.[/quote]
That is currently true. Which is why the big zoning fight right now is to increase density in upper NW because those young white families are priced out of moving to upper NW but still want to.[/quote]

When you live in DCUMlandia, it's easy to believe that "people" means "the residents of DCUMlandia" and that everything is about the residents of DCUMlandia.

It's not true, though.[/quote]

Yeah, that original posting definitely had that creepy connotation of “people who matter to me aka white / UMC with a few tokens” people, but not the poor people who can’t afford to move / are invisible to that poster.

Cue: defensiveness...[/quote]
