[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC will keep getting whiter.  Houses in the hip neighborhoods (where the beautiful people live, close to downtown, but with enough money that a couple can squeak through) go for $700 easily.  The people who bought those houses will eventually reproduce.

A decade ago, that's what you'd have paid to live in Tenleytown - easily DC's most overpriced and boring hell-neighborhood.

Demographics will solve the problem - the poor will be removed from the school system and the city, because they won't be able to afford to live here.  (BTW, look to the race-hate promoters to delay the inevitable.)  Test scores will obviously improve, and we will all collectively pat ourselves on the back "for the hard work we did!"

Do you really see this happening?

On the one hand, you have a point about housing. Only those of high SES will be able to afford certain housing.

But can you name one innercity that has become majority white? In the 3,000 years the city has existed. Like, Detroit will never be predominantly white. Neither will Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark,  etc.

I suspect the extremely expensive housing will go to whom it's always gone-the wealthy who are either older (no school aged kids) or those who go private b/c of lifestyle.

This idea of middle class whites taking over the city seems like a pipe dream after 3,000 years of deeply entrenched history as a black city.[/quote]
