[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true that it was too quick.  Neighborhoods like Brookland are gentrifying, but they're gentrifying with families into houses and neighborhoods.  The same can be said of parts of the Hill moving north and east.  The part of Shaw/Bloomingdale/LeDroit that has gentrified has done so in way that's very urban - there are no schools and parks, but lots of restaurants and bars and access to metro.  It's not a part of the city that lends itself to families settling in and building schools.[/quote]

Huh? There are lots of houses that suit families' needs in these neighborhoods, lots of parks, and plenty of schools. I have no idea what you're talking about. [/quote]

Whaa?  There are tons of families, living in row houses.  LeDroit Park has a big park and farm on Elm St.  There is a park on Florida ave by Big Bear, and another playground and rec center adjacent to Langley--the school has its own entrance to it and uses the field and basketball courts.  And Shaed Rec Center in Edgewood, which also feeds in part to Langley.  Yes the neighborhood has become more expensive, but there are lots of families and parks.[/quote]
