Cities change. [/quote]

Starbucks?
Panera?
Potbelly?
Walgreens?
Forever 21?
H&M?
J Crew?
CVS?
Bed Bath Beyond?

Seriously?

Are you a troll?[/quote]

No, but I also travel more than 2 blocks away from Chinatown metro. You may want to get out more and rediscover some interesting things going on in both new and old DC. [/quote]

There is hardly anything left of the old DC.
You wouldn't know that though because you are a gentrifier.[/quote]

Can you give an example of "old DC" that has been lost because of gentrification? When I look around, I see the Howard Theater restored and the Lincoln Theater restored and a bunch of other things in far better shape then they were not long ago. I'm not a fan of the chain development in Gallery Place, but I like it more than the adult bookstores that were there when I came to DC. I miss DC Space, but there are enough similar places to take its place. What exactly has been lost that you are so worked up about?

Well for starters the entire area where Nats Park was built was stolen via eminent domain.
The property owners were f*cked over.
I know of one person who said the city's appraisal of his property was off by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Dont even get me started about how I feel about the Nats.
