Gentrification causes people to lack homes.
Not working causes people to lack homes. Bartenders can live in gentrified neighborhoods, so stop whining and get a job.

Huh?
Not PP but PP is saying that DC would be dead right now if people had not come in and fixed parts of it. Hard to argue with that.

Nice things!? It's a Walmart. Speaking as a nearby gentrifier, we didn't go there, precisely because it wasn't very nice at all, and it had significant issues with keeping the shelves stocked. I'd much rather go to the Target in Ivy City (which, incidentally, doesn't seem to have nearly the same problems with either theft or stock).
Perhaps Walmart's problem is that (for a myriad of reasons) no one in DC really respects them as a business. That's on them.
I don't care about having or not having a Walmart but DC Walmarts suck, they are arranged like prisons and treat everyone as criminals.
To be fair, many of the shoppers at DC Walmart's are in fact criminals.

Send your children to the local public school, whatever it is, and get really involved in it to improve it.
