[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one reason why racial gap is so high. So many minorities closed out of wealth-building opportunities like this.[/quote] Not true in DC. Areas like Georgetown and Old Town Alexandria were once majority black-owned. Not to mention more recently gentrified areas east of the Park. Most of the owners sold and moved to the suburbs. It’s why there are still large black churches in those areas. [/quote] Yes. I said that in a prior post. Everyone fled to the suburbs after the riots and DC was burning in the late 60s. Suburbs were the American dream. We reversed course in the past decade or so when people wanted the urban, walkable environments and to be car-free. [/quote]
