Reply to comment by meh_the_man in Anyone miss the old DC? by sg8910

Man I was thinking like 80s DC? When you could get mugged walking on the mall in the middle of the day 😅??

+1 I'd love to know which "old DC" OP is talking about because my family has been here since the 60s and uhhhhhhh it's a lot nicer nowadays. There's a family story of a guy being stabbed on our front porch in Cap Hill and never keeping a stereo in the car because they kept getting stolen, but who's counting. Now, houses go for 3m+ and it's quite nice!!!

Houses going for $3Mn is the polar opposite of ‘nice’

The cost of living crisis is 100% exacerbating thr underlying issues of poverty, nihilism, and mental health.

Sorry the rest of us don’t have $3Mn laying around. But how dare I ask you to contemplate your role in this.

Who said I did? I was commenting on the the old dc versus new dc narrative. You do not know anything about me or my family's history in the district.

Wishing you nothing but the best. Take care!

Your parents owned land in the right place at the right time (the profiteers of the CoL crisis). Just a guess, but your economic worldview would certainly suggest a privileged upbringing. It’s not like you’ve done anything inherently wrong, but referring to $3Mn home prices as ‘nice’ is simply the most out-of-touch thing I’ve heard in quite some time. Shows which side of $3Mn you/your family is on, the other 99% of us will never have that privilege.
