[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently bought a place in Columbia Heights and multiple liberal friends of mine have called me a gentrifier. I don’t understand why buying the best house we could afford is somehow unethical. Should we look at white only neighborhoods? I mean, truly, what are people proposing? Even if we wanted to self segregate (we don’t), we couldn’t afford those super white parts of DC. I truly don’t understand... what are these anti gentrification people suggesting homebuyers do? By the way, it is ONLY our White friends who care. None of our POC friends have said anything negative at all. [/quote] I mean, you are a gentrifier. Whether you choose to feel badly about it is up to you and not your friends. [/quote] Lots of gripping by renters :roll: Cities change just like DC did when it became mostly black. This is really just the city reverting back to the way it was [/quote]
