That's what he means that should be contained within certain wards, and I agree. I just don't think the "white"/"black" label should be thrown around so freely to say white = rich and affluent and black = poor and ghetto. That's just making the stereotype and bitter feelings worse.
If you plan to move into the city and raise the prices up by throwing your excess cash around then yes, what's going to be done is that rental places will have to have income limits. I'm sorry but that needs to be done if they want to remove all working class people from DC so the yuppies have a playground. If that's not done then the public housing authority will end up having more people wanting in than what they have to supply. That's what happened in Arlington and Fairfax, and one of them doesn't even do public housing. Just section 8.
Likewise if you want to move in the city and have your little 9-5 thing, raising a family, getting by, then by all means do it. You're welcome to do so. Hell, that was his main point. We need more people like that to be able to afford DC.
I personally think tearing down public housing is a good thing. Just put them on section 8. Poverty breeds more poverty whereas those in mixed income settings do better. They did a study where they surveyed kids of the same income level households. One group went to school in an area of DC that has nothing but low income households and the other group in a mixed more diverse part of Montgomery county. Guess which group did better. Lack of housing projects isn't a bad thing. That's my opinion.
^ lol once the rich finish buying up all the
hoods in the city, there will be no place
left for the poor or middle class to live,
son. take the rosey glasses off.

Actually I didn't mean to quote you. Sorry about that.
With that said I don't think I have rose colored glasses. I just stated an opinion that I realize isn't popular. I don't see things being that dire.
^^^^ Like I said in my head DC will always be Chocolate City. I see that some disagree. The District still has more black residents than white.
Only a matter of time...
