[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was wonderful here in the 80's. Now not so much but my house is worth a ton so at least I have that. [/quote]

It was a crime-ridden hellhole in the 80s. Are you crazy? DC was the murder capitol of the US. [/quote]

But the nice parts were nice.  Same during the 90s and early 2000s [/quote]

Which was what exactly? Georgetown and Foxhall? Dupont was a prostitute's paradise that only the 'brave gays' ventured to, anything east of that was a no-man's land, until the 2000s even Columbia Heights was vice central and anything a step off Capitol Hill was Anacostia by default, NoMa was abandoned warehouses and empty lots. Seriously? DC became the city it is today because of Anthony Williams' post-2000 efforts.

Up until then, the nice parts weren't nice, they just had their heads in the sand and fear in their eyes. Drugs, crime, prostitution and a seriously corrupt mayor ruled this city. It's why people who bought in the city then really paid their dues. I know someone who bought a set of condos in Adams Morgan for 60K each in the 90s, the area was that bad. When he sold the two properties in 2014 he made a killing.[/quote]

DC wasn't all bad. 
The entire city wasn't dodging gunshots.
Only in certain areas.[/quote]
