[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should be raising taxes. That’s what DC voters voted overwhelmingly for. People want the rich paying their fair share. That’s what they voted for. The council has a mandate for giving the voters what they want. [/quote]

LOL it's one thing when federal income taxes go up (everyone affected in all states) but this strategy is entirely unsustainable when people can just move across the border to Virginia or Maryland. You can't keep drawing water from a shrinking well forever[/quote]

Then let them move. Who wants to be in some lame lifeless suburban encampment, spending your life in your car or riding endless red line or silver line trains just to get into the city? No thanks.

The boring-ass gentrifiers have brought  Disneyfication and their lame suburban tastes to the city. Tax them.[/quote]

You mean white people between the ages of 20 and 34? They're the ones who have driven gentrification and made DC a much, much, much whiter city than it was 20 years ago. Sure, tax them but the problem is they don't have much money. [/quote]

The real problem was the white flight that happened before that and the ongoing segregation and racism in our nation.  FIFY[/quote]
