Absolutely this. The standard of living has nosedived. Nearly everyone I know on my block -- one block south of H Street, which has gone to shit -- is talking about moving.[/quote]

Yep. Areas like H Street had a magic and energy to them in the 2010s. Then cracks started to show in 2018/2019 and it went to h*ll during COVID and has never bounced back.  [/quote]

It's baffling that things got significantly worse after the addition of so much high-end residential and retail on H Street, but it did. A big part of it were the illegal weed shops that swooped in to fill vacancies created by businesses that closed during the pandemic. At one point, there were 15 weed shops in a 10-block stretch of H Street. I have no problem with legalized weed and smoke it myself from time to time, but 15 is far too many.

There's also the eternal problem of the bus stops at 8th and H, which have been a problem for decades and apparently will never be solved. [/quote]
