I'm not the one make allegations about things that I admittedly know nothing about. Maybe you shouldn't pull statements out of your you-know-what.

So we know she pushed Amazon out of NYC, but shops at WF.

Why? It’s convenient. You know what else is convenient? 25,000 jobs in Queens.[/quote]

Pretty sure those Whole Foods stores didn’t get hundreds of millions in tax breaks to get built.  Pretty sure Navy Yard didn’t have to compete in a DC-wide competition where each neighborhood had to submit reams of data about itself in order to “win” a Whole Foods.  One can be against the use of tax incentives to lure businesses like Amazon HQ and be pro-WF.[/quote]

How is everyone leaping to the conclusion that she shops at Whole Foods just because there happens to be one in Navy Yard?  There's also a Harris Teeter, and a number of other options nearby.  Those are close to me as well but a lot of the time we go to the Trader Joe's in Eastern Market which is a little farther away.  Not valid to make these automatic conclusions.[/quote]

Are whole food where a person wash shot in the face less than 6 mons ago. Also where cars are still regularly broken into. aghast! She can also walk to work help save the environment by not using some sort of fuel . Why do people hate on her so much? Is it because you are old? Just asking.[/quote]

I really don’t care where she lives, but it is certainly hypocritical to rail against gentrification and then move to a gentrified neighborhood. [/quote]

As much as you'd like for her to move into a non-gentrified neighborhood there are other factors that maybe you didn't consider...  The gentrified neighborhoods tend to have higher density and more apartments available.  It's easier (but more expensive) to find an apartment in a gentrified neighborhood.[/quote]
