[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this happens all over the country as areas redevelop and become more desirable it's really just a class thing I wish there were more middle class and higher black folks coming back to DC vs PG county to make this less of a racial issue [/quote] We are a middle class (250k HHI) black family and would love to come to DC from [b]our hot nova neighborhood. The areas we think are most similar to where we live now are way too expensive in DC[/b]. It still comes down to racial wealth inequality. Its also ingrained in the housing system, down to racist lending practices and house appreciation rates still happening today. I truly hate it all, but have no way to escape it. [/quote] You if you are looking for an expensive neighborhood like your hot NOVA neighborhood, you aren't going to be gentrifying. [/quote]
