What you are missing is that the new population and development are not a one-way street. Transplants haven't only driven development, development attracted transplants. If you are really upset about the stereotypical person presented in that mural, you need to have a discussion with Mayor Williams (who continues to have an important role in city affairs). It was his development plan that aimed at attracting exactly that demographic. Once Williams got them here, additional development catered to their desires. But don't act like transplants invaded DC like a Mongol horde.

At one point DC added 30,000 residents in 27 months... That looks like a Mongol horde to me.

I'll give you points for creativity. Not many would think of those who are filling jobs as "leeches". I've read quite a lot about the Mongols and I don't remember any city preparing a development plan to attract them.

How do you feel about the Verizon Center? Did you prefer when the Caps and Bullets played in Landover?

Gentrifiers are leeching. 
Taking the easy way out.
Leeching off of the government.
Leeching off of the healthy local economy.

As far as the Wizards.
WORST NAME EVER.
Wizards SUCK.
The Wizards are the gentrified Bullets.
