I swear u the first person on here to not call SE a hellhole of some kind and u even gave a reason why people still prefer NE and NW. As a SE native, for the longest time I never understood why transplants prefer NW neighborhoods like Columbia heights, seat pleasant, ivy City and more when there is just as much shootings there as SE. My best friend lives near Columbia heights and he has seen drive-bys and a dead body from his window.

It isn't a hellhole, far from it; some of the prettiest neighborhoods in DC are in SE, like Hillcrest. The issues are more to do with historic redlining and racism combined with a lack of amenities that are walkable. Keep in mind there are barely any highways in NW DC. Highways were only built in poorer neighborhoods.
Hopefully we can fix these problems.
