[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m one who moved. Our very high income family was sick of being taxed like crazy, having no school, and (most of all) being surrounded by loons who think looting is a form of free speech and that encampments of human poo/drugs are appropriate near schools.

We are enjoying our lower tax rate, and REALLY enjoying living with people who have common sense! [/quote]

Thanks for confirming that most of the posters on this thread get off on the city's problems.

Oh, and I'll bey your "very high income family" makes less than mine.  Otherwise you would have gone private.[/quote]

DP.  Why is it so hard to understand that some people with means no longer want to live in DC, even if private would be an option?  Anyone who knows anyone in DC has known countless families who have relocated permanently over the last 2 years.

I know it’s easier to chalk it up to those leaving not being as wealthy as you or not being able to afford private, but that shows how small minded you are.  [/quote]

And you're small minded because you assume that what "families" do means everything.  DC has always been a transient city from which rich racist mommies and daddies have moved out when they have kids.  It's nothing new.  [b]The broader trend is that the city is growing -- not shrinking.[/b]  [/quote]

Is this true though?  Has DC been increasing in population since covid?[/quote]
It was not even true pre-COVID. 2019 had basically zero population growth. 2020 had negative growth.[/quote]

I said "broader trend."  Not just the last two years.  DC rents are already just about back to pre-covid levels.  [/quote]
That's not even a "broader trend". Population growth rate has been in secular since 2013.
