No, that’s just not how selfish people work. Keep your grinch fingers off of PG and South Arlington. They are not “investments,” they are places where people go to live when they need somewhere to live, many of those people being DC natives who are poor POC that were pushed out of their neighborhoods with you modern-day de-facto colonizers. If you want to live there, that’s fine, but it’s not an “investment.” It’s an existing community with people who already live there and have interests in staying there.

If you can’t afford “appreciation” in the areas that already appreciated and are continuing to do so, that’s your fault for not working hard enough in life, I guess. [/quote]

I know it's frustrating when the world doesn't work as you wish it did, but these changes are coming. [/quote]

We don’t live in the day and age where these other suburbs got gentrified. The younger generations are a lot more involved in politics, and there’s already lots of conversations among PG residents about pushing back against gentrification, and many new politicians are directly targeting against this. If you NIMBYs protest against workforce housing in Bethesda, people living in PG have a right to protest against selfish assholes pricing them out of their neighborhoods as well. You can live there if you want to live there, but it’s not a place to go because you want to gentrify it and price current residents out. You’re gross. [/quote]

huh, so in your version of reality, it's a GOOD thing that the people who own real estate in PG County right now won't be able to enjoy the fruits of appreciation?  Who do you think gets all of that appreciation when neighborhoods gentrify?  And why do you assume that gentrification means displacement?  And of course, gentrification and affordable housing are two separate topics.  [/quote]

Yeah that poster is strange as if people don't sell their PG home that appreciated to move to .....another neighborhood in PGC. I know many families who have done that.[/quote]

My wife and I plan on doing that. We were both raised here and don’t plan on going anywhere for awhile. [/quote]
