What is happening in Mount Pleasant?
Edit: I have to make this edit because people are unhinged. I made a post about a very real increase in property crimes in the area wondering what’s been happening lately and got just insane responses (and a few reasonable and thoughtful ones as well). The economy in DC has been polarized for a long time. The cost of living has been very challenging even before recent economic deterioration. I don’t think either of these statements are controversial. I was hoping to get a sense of what’s been shifting in the last few months. But instead people have been blaming high paid professionals for moving in and bringing societal instability upon themselves… or blaming them for being priced out of their homes… or downplaying the serious nature of this shift as if I’m lying about what I and my neighbors have experienced. I mean, have at it, but most of you missed the point.
