[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The level of crowding in DC in 1950 was certainly high enough to help motivate a rapid exodus to the suburbs. [/quote] Is this a joke? DC wasn't shrinking then because of crowding. This was the infamous white flight. In 20 years, 300,000 white people left DC. It had nothing to do with crowding. It had everything to do with racial animosity. [/quote] There was departure from center cities in other metro areas with few blacks, IIUC. While race played a role, the desire to have more sq ft per person also was a factor. Why do you think asking "is this a joke" "are you for real" are compelling arguments? [/quote]
