[quote=Anonymous]Housing prices/distribution of wealth is why Tenleytown is predominantly white. Janney is whiter than other Ward 3 elementary schools because it attracts a higher % of in-boundary students. More affluent Ward 3 neighborhoods (e.g. Cleveland Park) send more of their kids to private schools earlier. Racially-restrictive covenants existed in single-family neighborhoods elsewhere in the District (Bloomingdale, Mt Pleasant, Park View) that are now racially integrated. SFHs in these areas are significantly less expensive than SFHs in Tenleytown. What GDS is proposing -- small luxury apartments typically renting for $2k+ a month -- is not going to change the racial demographics of the neighborhood in any significant way. PS DC is no longer a majority black city. All those luxury condos/apartments built over the past 15 years have made the city whiter and a more expensive place to live.[/quote]
