#1 Harold, if you can't stay and fix your own problem I kinda understand, but please select Massachusetts or New Jersey as your migration destination. NOT Georgia or Texas. Our taxes are already too high and real estate equity is flat.

#2 huh? This guy sounds like the kind of guy you want as a neighbor. Taxes? Equity?

#3 The message is, however, no matter what color you are, if you cannot act in a decent and civilized manner, you are NOT welcome.

Never gonna happen, not so long as Kennedys are in Congress.

#4 Frank... it has nothing to do with geography, it's called reality. They bring their troubled hip-hop, gang banger youth, friends, and problems with them. The schools go down hill, crime increases, real estate prices tumble, equity is lost, taxes go up (more police, emergency and social services, etc) and folks begin looking to re-locate elsewhere.

Ok, now said, everybody can jump on with the appropriate labels.

#6 This is called lawless anarchy. This is what naturally occurs when decent citizens are dissarmed, and, even worse silenced when they only cry out for help. I hope the LLL with Fat Ted in the vanguard are happy. The DC metro area is basically a no mans land after dark. And, only safe in daylight if you're inside your government limo or accompanied by armed bodyguards.

#7 read George Pelecanos's novels if you want a good look at DC residents trying to make a go of it in bad environments. He's one of my favs. Not all blacks are hoods, B

#8 I take offense at your comment Besoeker. I have blood relatives that are black and they are good, decent people. Here's one of them in Iraq last year. She lives in Texas.

#9 "They" bring their troubled hip-hop, gang banger youth, friends, and problems with them. The schools go down hill, crime increases, real estate prices tumble, equity is lost, taxes go up (more police, emergency and social services, etc) and white "folks" begin looking to re-locate elsewhere.

Don't need to apply labels, Besoeker -- you use all the code words right up front.

So, other than your snark, are saying he's wrong? I've seen it happen, especially when illegals move in and buy houses through strawman purchases. My Mom's old neighborhood, the one I grew up in is now a war zone. If it happened to you, you might sing a different tune.

#14 Oh, bullshit. First, tourists are disarmed everywhere - at least the ones that fly in. Second, law or no law there are lots of guns on the streets of DC in the hands of both thugs and otherwise law abiding citizens practicing a little civil disobience. The bad guys go ahead and take their chances anyway. There's something seriously f*****d in the culture of parts of DC, like most cities in the US and around the world, but the gun laws, while useless, don't have much to do with it

#15 It's no "snark" when you the school district goes south and no one wants to move there. Houses prices drop like pine cones, etc. It "didn't happen to me," because I selected a residential area AWAY from that crap, not in the (Fulton County) middle of it. If they others bring it in, then yes sir, I'm a cuttin my losses like the rest and movin on.

#16 The point you are working hard to avoid acknowledging is that Cureau is just the sort of person who ISN'T bringing that inner city mess with him -- he's rejecting it and refusing to raise his kids there.

Ya know???

#18 Not avoiding anything dimmit lady. I'll openly acknowledge this fellow as a God fearing, law abiding citizen as well as Deacon's kin, no problem, no judgement made. The issue is not one of eaches, but one of democraphic shifts, culture, and simple economics. If blue lipped 9 legged, peace loving, law abiding Martians moved into my neighborhood and the price of real estate sky rocketed, I'd be delighted! So would everybody else.

#19 Agreed on the blue lipped Martian.

Are you suggesting that Cureau's presence would bring real estate prices down because he's black? Because he has the sense to not raise a family in DC? Or because ?????

#20 I don't blame him or anyone else for getting out of there. I don't even drive down to my fav French cafe in Georgetown anymore. I won't go there! Again, it's not the eaches, the fellow or family mentioned in this posting or the General Powell, Tiger Woods, or Hand Aaron types that concern me. It's the culture that continues to vote democratic no matter what, and votes for felons like Marian Barry, and donks like Cindy Mckinney. My heartburn is with those that see me as a "blue eyed devil" and contantly honk the victim, reparation, free tuition ride, you OWE me something horn. Then when their neighborhood falls in on them, they want to move out next to me, and the gummit facilitates the loan and relocation! I'm just fed up with it. Thats my last on it. Deny it if you will, it's still happenin.
