That's the thing about a lot of the annoying newcomers. They think you have to have been raised on 14th street to be a native. No one lived on 14th street in the 80s I tell them and they look at me like I'm crazy.

Do you mean no white people? So the people who actually lived there don't actually count, in your mind?

Come now, I’m sure PP meant white people with college degrees.

Oh, is this where we wax poetic about the POC sex workers that pretty much single handedly caused the AIDs epidemic in DC to spread like wildfire? Cause that's like 9th level SJW stuff right there. Lets talk about how they were marginalized while the likes of my father (who worked his fingers to the bone as a 30 year civil servant for a whopping 66k) don't deserve to be called a DC native.

No, lets shine a light on the disease ridden petty criminals that dragged that area into the gutter!

I can not wait to vote for Trump this November. I really can't.

You're going to vote for a narcissistic idiot because you're butt hurt? That's some 9th level white fragility stuff right there.

I'm black, but thanks for showing the buried racist in every Dem.

Thanks. I needed a good laugh.

+7 (or whatever). Lots of "chill" families and even some "cool" ones (but not me).

+8. We’re part of the “adequate parenting” club.

Do kids generally go to public schools in these zip codes? Considering moving here to try for the science magnet programs (I know, that seems very ungrounded, but my daughter loves science), but want a neighborhood where people send their kids to the neighborhood schools.

Yes.

+2 I have an elementary schooler and a middle schooler, and my neighbors all use the public schools.

I mean no, some of us grew up in DC in the 80s/90s and didn’t fit that mold. Definitely fewer than now, for sure, though.

And we got annoyed as hell when people from Potomac or Arlington said they are “from DC”!

Haha. Thank you for the response. I am another DC native who grew up in the District in the 80's and *gasp* EOTP! We did indeed, and still do get annoyed. PP may want to think about the way she phrase her experience. Saying "no one lived on 14th St" is a dead giveaway you are NOT a native.

NP, but were there many people who lived on 14th St? There were lots of people that lived EOTR, near RFK, near Catholic, Trinidad, etc, and that huge public housing complex near where Nats stadium is now....but my memory is that 14th St had a couple dive bars, a bunch of empty lots/buildings, and there was a very active drug territory war happening on 14th st. I don’t think of it as being very residential, at least south of Columbia Heights, which is why it was relatively easy for the while foods to move in followed by the gentrifiers. But maybe I’m misremembering.
