[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether there is or isn't "white flight" won't really matter long term when it comes to DC. The city is way too small to absorb massive amounts of people from VA and MD. We're not talking Chicago or NYC here. DC doesn't have the infrastructure and land mass to take on that kind of density. Plus the way prices are spiking there will always be a majority of white families who simply can't afford to to live in the District.  I could see DC becoming 75% white in the next 25 years, losing much of its diversity. But that won't mean the suburbs are emptying out of white families. [/quote]

The suburbs aren't emptying out of white people at all. They are filling up with more and more people. Depending on where you live (affluent or not) depends on what type of minorities are moving in. I can only speak to Virginia and 2 homes on my street have tuned over in the last 5 years for 900k+. One home was purchased by an Indian endocrinologist and the other by a white guy with a job up in NYC that he commutes to M-Th. The wife doesn't work and they are gone alot because they also have a crash pad in NYC. Being n actual white person in said community, I've not seen anyone "fleeing" I've seen very old white people move out because they are so damn old, they need assisted living. Half the time the house is bought by an Asian, the other half a white person.[/quote]
