[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would be interested in seeing how the demographics shift - i.e. young and single staying or DINKs staying in the city vs. older folks and families moving out. Telework is really changing things now that people, especially parents and those with establish/senior jobs, don't need to commute as much, if at all.

Real estate wise, seems like there is plentiful housing for single or DINKs while there is less housing for families, plus real estate for families is currently seeming stagnant vs. the burbs. In Hill East, rowhouses are sitting in the market and dropping prices, in the burbs and exurbs, SFHs are  in heated bidding wars, at least in the NOVA burbs where we are looking for a SFH for under $950k. Crime also looks to be at play here in some areas of the city where people felt comfortable buying a few years ago, and now are preferring to avoid.[/quote]

"Hill East" is just rebranded Northeast DC.  Which is why things are sitting on the market.  NE is reverting to baseline, and no amount of white-and-blackified flipped houses with 5 round green shrubs in front can change the entrenched culture.[/quote]

I'm the PP and if you want to talk about crime, ok. Hill East is half SE, the ward itself extends to Navy Yard, and SE is where more of the Hill East shootings occur as of late; you'd know this if you knew the area but clearly you don't. By "entrenched culture," sounds racist, frankly.[/quote]

culture =/= melanin in the skin.   Culture means culture.  Is spraying an entire group of people with bullets a valid method to demonstrate displeasure with a single person possibly standing in that group?  Select Yes or No.

Some cultural traditions support an answer of "yes." Others support an answer of "no."

No mention was made of skin color in this exercise. [/quote]
