[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did all the African Americans go?  I keep wondering this.

Are they going to PGC?  Where are they going?[/quote]

We aren’t going to pay 700k to live on a row house floor or pay $1m to live in a shitshack just to be around wealthy non-brown people.

I live in south Arlington simply for the diversity. Sadly it’s becoming less diverse as more people who are paying 50k over list move in.[/quote]

We're in south Arlington too, for much that same reason. Sadly the day is coming when DC will no longer be very diverse at all. Within the next 10-15 years it's likely to be the place you go when you DON'T want diversity, and will be surrounded by UMC white residents. The diversity will have all moved out to the suburbs, and the idea of what's truly "hip" or "urban" will have dramatically changed. Absent a complete about-face on zoning and building density, I think there's no stopping that train. [/quote]

What's gonna happen to all those "urban pioneers," who just had to have a DC address to prove how hip & liberal they are? [/quote]
