[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in CH when the the DCUSA site was a needle-strewn vacant lot, the Tivoli was still boarded up and every shopkeeper on 14th Street worked behind an inch-think wall of plexiglass. I felt much safer then than I do in CH now. This is what happens when you build luxury condos and million-dollar renovated rowhouses right next to entrenched poverty.[/quote] I'm from DC and agree, I have seen the whole evolution. Everyone was SO HOPEFUL when they put the new metro in, and then the 'vibrant density' happened overnight, very soul-lessly (building just to build + sell), and the neighnorhood is somewhat worse in some regards. Plus our feeble attitudes towards youth violence and rehabilitation. YUCK. I roll my eyes when the density bros talk, having moved on to other neighnorhoods to destroy.[/quote] LOL no. I feel 100% safer in CH compared to the before times. You couldn't walk in daylight down the street west of about 15th.[/quote]
