Sorry, but DC has ALWAYS been owned by developers and the only color in play is GREEN. The mayor, chancellor, council, etc. are just props[/quote]

I'm the poster who's lived in 3 gentrified urban areas.

And you're right. They always had major developments, new businesses coming in, etc. But no one ever connected that growth to gentrification.

And while the major color in play when it came to getting those big business deals into play was green, the governing body had a HUGE say in who got the deals, built in the city,etc. A lot of the politicians were corrupt--getting kickbacks and lining the pockets of friends. Kilpaatrick did it in Detroit & Nagin did it in New Orleans. It was the gentrifiers who didn't seem to have all the power some of you posters would like to claim. They just moved in, worked, lived their lives, etc. Some did great things for/with the kids in the neighborhoods--like starting a baseball team. But they didn't become major power players. And they didn't integrate the schools either. And nobody cared or even expected them to.[/quote]

If you're arguing that criminal conspiracy and bribery is the goal of gaining power you really don't understand how things work.  Who makes more money, Michael Brown with his 'taste of the taste' or Frank Saul?[/quote]

You are so unintelligent there's no point in bothering with you. You're always deliberately missing the point, trying to twist things or just plain being stupid.

It's too bad you can't follow a simple argument.

You're dismissed.[/quote]
