[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Odd - right wing media pushing the DC crime story and people leaving while right wing groups are purchasing real estate all over Cap Hill.  [/quote]

Really? Elaborate please?[/quote]

They are prob referring to this article about MAGA groups buying up property on Cap Hill and calling it "Patriot's Row."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/15/dc-maga-campus-patriots-row-meadows/

"At first glance, the flurry of real estate sales two blocks east of the U.S. Capitol appeared unremarkable in a city where such sales are common. In the span of a year, a seemingly unrelated gaggle of recently formed companies bought nine properties, all within steps of one another.

But the sales were not coincidental. Unbeknown to most of the sellers, the limited liability companies making the purchases — a shopping spree that added up to $41 million —[b] are connected to a conservative nonprofit led by Mark Meadows, who was chief of staff to President Donald Trump. [/b]The organization has promoted MAGA stars like Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.).

[b]The Conservative Partnership Institute, as the nonprofit is known, now controls four commercial properties along a single Pennsylvania Avenue block, three adjoining rowhouses around the corner, and a garage and carriage house in the rear alley. CPI’s aim, as expressed in its annual report, is to transform the swath of prime real estate into a campus it calls “Patriots’ Row.”"[/b]
