Some black churches exercise a lot of political power in DC, because A. They still have some DC members, or their Md members have DC relations B. Some Md folks donate to pols C. Lots of AA residents in DC unconnected to particular churches can be swayed by arguments like PP's. D. Some can make a case for their importance as social service providers

But - over time, those mostly elderly "left behind grandmas"will pass away.  Even the Md residents will consist more and more of folks who grew up in Md, with no connection to the old neighborhood, instead of folks who grew up in DC.  Ward 9 will change.

And most churches will respond to their moving congregations, and to the RE market. Some are building mixed use edifices that will incorporate a church.  But many (I can think of three off the top of my head - one in Navy Yard, one near H Street, and one in Columbia Heights) simply move on.   So over time this will become a smaller issue.   Meanwhile, it is what it is.[/quote]
