[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To OP's point, Ward 6 has the most public housing in the city. A significant portion is in SW, but there is considerable traditional public housing as well as low-income and section 8 housing all over the Hill. And for crying out loud, the city homeless shelter is right there! Don't try and tell me the Hill and surrounding environs is lilly white and just like Ward 3.[/quote]Agree.  It really depends on what part of the area you live in.  A lot of folks wouldn't say the homeless shelter is in Capitol Hill per se but is actually in Hill East - so there's that.  But I live on the Southeast edge of the historic district - so I figure I can say that's Capitol Hill and our neighborhood is still about 50/50 now.

But it's not clear how long that will last.  I love my neighborhood -before it gentrified and still do now that it is gentrifying, but to be honest, I'm not thrilled with the way it's moving toward another expensive enclave.  But by the time it reaches that point I'll be ready to retire and move on.[/quote]
