LinkLinksOpinion Joel Pomerantz in The Post: The banning of cash only heightens gentrification By Editor On Sep 6, 2018 Last updated Sep 6, 2018 78 Share I don’t understand the elitist, “let them eat cake” attitude of the Sept. 1 editorial “It’s okay to be cash-free.” Note that the banning of cash transactions is clearly a gentrification strategy to keep out the riffraff and has been imposed most clearly in new developments such as the Wharf. I have encountered only a few businesses there that take cash, such as CVS and Shake Shack. It should be a federal law for all businesses to accept cash. This is not rocket science, folks. The wording is clearly on the currency for a reason, and no private entity has a reason to violate that for private reasons. DC Council 78 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
