[quote=Anonymous]Tony Williams gets pilloried for "gentrification". DC needed gentrification. Barry's incompetent patronage system had driven the middle class (white and most of black) out of the city. Williams understood the reality that DC needed more employed taxpayers and that the surrounding jurisdictions needed to shoulder their share of poverty. DC became a dynamic city over a 20 year period thanks to Williams' vision. If people got "left behind" in this city over the last 20 years, it is because they have failed to take advantage of the numerous city programs designed to lift people out of poverty. [/quote]
