Hee. I hold a grudge against the law school (or at least the law school librarians) so I can’t say I blame you for going elsewhere.

Abogado, dude we should hang out in DC sometime. I go every two months or so, going for 2-3 weeks in December.

Bobby, are you confusing me and Elenita? Dude, you are so easy.

Abogado–yeah, I am. What kinda recommendations are we talking about, though?

Elenita – are you at GW? I’ve been out there a few times. Any recommendations?

Elenamary – I was on the shuttle through Dupont today and I noticed a surprising number of posh foreign sedans fighting for parking. Of course the next block over looks like projects. I guess I’m more used to So Cal where we hide our poor neighborhoods and build segregated communities resembling Disney visions of sub-topia. I’m down on 2nd and F and it’s dead at 5pm.

Abogado, my boyfriend Alexi looked at buying a home in Dupont but it was absurdly expensive. He instead bought a home on 6 & Q, the home he bought was still priced at about the same as both of our parents homes put together. Parts of DC are becoming very gentrified and poor people are now being pushed out to Maryland.

Also, most students pay taxes in their state of permanent residence; I pay New York taxes even though I’m usually raising hell down in Foggy Bottom 9+ months out of the year. The overwhelming majority of those who are actually in the bind of taxation without representation are yes, poor and usually without a college degree. And, of the remaining minority, I would venture to guess that most owe their allegiance to foreign governments, so they’re no help.

I can attest to Dupont/Adams Morgan becoming the city’s one major hotspot. Although, who knows, if they ever get the Stadium issues ironed out, there may soon be another.
