[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it’s what will cause the equity in your house to rise. Are you supposed to be the last gentrifier allowed in?[/quote]

+1 to the second sentence. There’s something so disingenuous about well off (most likely) white people objecting to further development in their previously poor neighborhood. [/quote]

Is this some kind of weird Orwellian joke? This stuff is *only* allowed to happen in black neighborhoods. If a developer went to DuPont Circle or Georgetown or Alexandria or Friendship Heights and proposed tearing down a single-family home and covering every square inch of the yard with condos, people would be in the streets with pitchforks. Of course, that never actually happens, because people in those neighborhoods have already engineered their zoning laws to ensure that developers can never do any such thing. So the developers come to poor black neighborhoods where zoning laws basically don't exist, and no one will complain. [/quote]

This makes zero sense.  OP is in Petworth.  That is a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood, and most homes sell for close to $1M.  Sure, it's not old-money Georgetown, but let's please not act like it's nothing but poor black folks.  [/quote]
