[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am White and have lived in Columbia Heights for 15+ years and I understand EXACTLY what he is trying to say. When I moved in Columbia Heights, it was generally an undesirable place for Whites to move.  Thus, those of us Whites who lived there were "forced" to be more in tune with the culture and fabric of the neighborhood.  It was not always a picnic but it was a net positive to me.  Now, these areas that were undesirable for Whites a few years aog are now becoming havens for young White professionals.  Good in that they are infusing money into these neighborhoods, bad because most of these folks are not really interested in putting roots down in these neighborhoods, will be moving out of DC in a few years and thus, care bery little about the history and fabric of these neighborhoods.  Milloy makes it about race - I think it is a matter of other things too.  [/quote]

The history of any city neighborhood is about change. Every neighborhood in NYC has undergone tremendous demographical changes in the past 100 years. Every older generation laments those changes.[/quote]
