[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has been poorly run (or struggling to manage around its problems) and a higher ratio of crime to its nicer satellite suburbs that have no obligations to DCs problems and operations for over a hundred years . People have done the math and left for these ever since. It is only the current crop of transplants that want their cake and eat it too that seem to think if they whine  loud enough that someone will come along an fix everything [/quote]

This! Cities will always have a measure of city charm when it comes to traffic, crime, noise and dirt. The larger the gap and ratio to haves vs have nots are the harbinger to how volatile it is. This utopia that upper SES Washingtonians pine for where Maryland and Va drives are barred, the poor people are pushed to PG and PWC never to return and the few remaining show copious amounts of civic responsibility all while returning fed workers fuel a vibrant restaurant and bar scene leaving the residents to enjoy unlimited telework is laughable.

If the world is cyclical the next white-flight might be SES flight. Considering it happen normally when people age out of bars and into kids at a percentage. A few points greater than normal could equal a flood. The only interesting divergence is that economic pressure have created an exodus of poor people to the suburbs already, at some point the DC ring areas might be just as bad and further out isn’t realistic.  Where will people feeling go? [/quote]
