[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I paid the middle-aged black woman who sold me my house $450k when she paid $150 20 years earlier. And, yep, she's living in the suburbs now. She lives right near her church. She's closer to her work. She's got more than double the amount of space. She's probably going to retire a decade earlier than she would have. If you want to talk to the person responsible for "gentrification" and "displacement" you probably want to talk to her and the hundred thousand other middle-class black folk who abandoned the city in droves leaving a massive hole that's been filled by multi-ethnic newcomers.[/quote] This could apply to any DC homeowners, irrespective of ethnicity, who sold their home of 20 years and moved to a less costly, more convenient location. I assume this was her own decision, and not part of a plan to concentrate poor people in the suburbs for their own good. Maybe in 20 years, you'll sell the same house for even a bigger profit.[/quote]
