[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First off, if you bought a place in Columbia Heights in 2020, you aren't exactly on the leading edge of gentrification.

But more importantly, you're right.  What do your friends say when you make these points to them?  [/quote]

Yes, totally, we are hardly at the bleeding edge of gentrification. But even if we bought somewhere, say, East of the River, I still wouldn’t see an issue with it. I understand the issue when new people move in and start calling the cops on all their neighbors and don’t care to meet them, but we of course won’t do any of that. We’re looking forward to getting to know all our neighbors.

[b]One friend suggested I should have moved to a rural white community that I could afford, and then I wouldn’t be displacing anyone. Another friend paid twice what I did (with help of course) to limit herself to WOTP neighborhoods, which apparently is somehow more ethical[/b]. Baffling. [/quote]

Okay, OP is a troll. These conversations didn't happen. [/quote]

Agreed. Not even a good troll thread to end 2020.

It did! Obviously not verbatim, but those were their responses in summary. Not a troll. But I guess why am I replying, you still won’t believe me. [/quote]
