[quote=Anonymous]Jeff I've also been in DC since '86 (when I was 3, lol.) I think the PP who mentioner gentrification and reduced territory may be onto something. My direct experiences with areas that have become highly gentrified also suggest an increasing disparity and desperation in those neighborhoods. It makes sense that the crews/dealers are working with less space and heightened tension and that leads to more conflict. It really rubs in the whole "DC government and the world at large only care about the white, rich population- I have no chance to make it" mentality that leads young men down this path. [/quote]
