LinkLinksOpinion Tim Robustelli in The Post: A new bridge in the District wants to keep local communities parked By Editor On Nov 21, 2019 Last updated Nov 21, 2019 24 Share Take a stroll through Shaw or Navy Yard, and you’re likely to end up walking past a juice bar, a workout studio or a glitzy new high-rise. The surge of such amenities into previously low-income neighborhoods attests to the fact that the District is among the most rapidly gentrifying cities in the United States. And unlike in some other cities, gentrification in the District is having tangible consequences: Research conducted by the University of Minnesota found that in parts of the Kingman Park and Capitol Hill neighborhoods, for example, almost 75 percent of the low-income population moved away between 2000 and 2016. 24 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
