Whatever.

Neighborhoods?  I guess so, if you could call those pits neighborhoods.  Lots of abandoned property there.  The
only people who'd be hurt by tearing down what you call neighborhoods are the slumlords who rip off the poor who
vote for Crackhead Barry.

Perpetual wasteland?  As if that isn't already the case.  Abandoned lots, crack houses............yeah, it's really
a freaking paradise right now, huh?

Middle class?  What middle class?  Haven't you read?  DC is rapidly becoming a town where the rich live and the
poor live, with very little in between.  Thus the higher tax rate and worse services.
