I like how you captured the poor and middle class neighborhoods in D.C. It’s different to see how close these communities are physically, yet worlds apart in resources and opportunities. Thank you for exploring this topic with such care and respect!
I really enjoyed this vlog! It was eye opening to see the contrast between the middle class and poorer areas of Washington, DC. You did a great job capturing the realities that often get overlooked, and it’s refreshing to see these neighborhoods getting the attention they deserve. Keep up the amazing work, looking forward to more explorations like this!
I really appreciate how you dive into the history and provide so many details about each city. I never knew Washington had such a deep African American history. Thanks for sharing that valuable information!
Thank you for visiting our City (aka The District). We appreciate your efforts. Yet, we're passionate about our City & will correct you on the facts. LOL. Yes, a 2nd visit is in order. To know DC check out Go-Go music & its significance, the Big Chair & the thriving businesses in the neighborhood, also the Southeast Tennis & Learning Center, Ben's Chili Bowl on U Street, and our history as Chocolate City.
It seems like there’s so much more to explore in DC! Thanks for sharing all the info. If you’d like to show me around next time I’m in town, feel free to reach out-I’d love to have a local guide. I also did another vlog covering the Capitol and other popular landmarks visitors usually check out in Washington DC. On my next visit, I’m hoping to explore the hidden gems and lesser-seen areas of the city!
DC no longer has poor areas. The difference between Capitol Hill, Hillcrest, and Minnesota is Capitol Hill has 2 million dollar/up homes and the other areas have $700,000/up homes. I don’t believe he’s a DC Native.
This statement is becoming more true every day. However, at this time, DC does have working-class neighborhoods with high percentages of poor families in comparison to the rest of the city. These neighborhoods include Bellvue, Skyland, Washington Highlands, and even Congress Heights, although it's changing there rapidly due to its proximity to Annocostia. There are a few more that I didn't name, and it's getting harder to find them, but they do exist, and you could find property values way under 700,000 in these neighborhoods. I live in Washington Highlands myself, Our community has not been heavily gentrified, and our property values are not on par with some of the areas you've named, although the value of my property is slowly creeping up in the right direction. Just an FYI
@ I grew up in those areas, I currently live in PG across the DC line and really wanted to buy in the areas you described in your post, but prices are starting at $700,000 and renovations are needed to the majority of the houses. In those areas you described will reach a million with the renovation. In addition to the above, due to gentrification there are no poor neighborhoods in those areas, unless they’re Public Housing or low income apartments which most are marked to be demolished and replaced with new unaffordable housing. The train has left the station in DC for affordability.
@@latrinathomas2411 You really have to be realistic about what you're looking for. If you are trying to get property of a similar size and land as PG, you will pay top dollar for it and your best bet is to stay in PG. But if you don't mind downsizing, you can find housing for cheaper. I see them all the time, but most people's perception of what they can get for the money in DC is skewed. My wife has been a realtor in the area for about a decade, and she specializes in neighborhoods East of the river. She was my realtor when we purchased this home before we were married, that was during the pandemic when the market was on fire. She is really good at what she does I often tease her and say she is responsible for a lot of the gentrification in the area because she helped so many people purchase homes. But these are just jokes she has also helped DC natives stay in the District. Also, they are literally in phase 1 of building an affordable housing complex on Barnaby Road, not far from my house the Complex looks similar to the one on Mississippi Ave. These are apartment styles you would find in NW. I'm not saying it's in abundance my point is merely that these places exist, and there is a narrative that I think keeps working-class people away from DC. That narrative is that you can't afford it or you have to live in the Projects. I see my wife and her colleagues challenge that narrative daily. With an open mind, I say link with the right team and keep searching, good luck to you I promise it's achievable. Not easy but achievable.
I don't believe you are either because you can find homes under $700k in the city. You can still find homes for $550k to $700k and not be in the hood. But then again, DC's AMI is much higher than 20 - 30 years ago when I was growing up, so the price accordingly has increased.
Call your mother is a sandwich shop for the most part. It's not located downtown either. You were on 8th SE st a main street in the Eastern Market section of Capitol Hill. Downtown is more the business district K st , Farragut, China Town all the way up by the convention center to the boarding neighborhood of Shaw, and a few other locations, I also consider the monuments downtown but some may not. Believe it or not, Capitol Hill is a very Residential section of the city.
You are not downtown. This video started in Barracks Row, near the Marine Barracks. Also, there is no longer any POOR areas in DC. Please ensure you are giving your viewers the correct information.
Slim you were bo where near downtown DC. Please stop with the false information. You were in Eastern Market walking on 7th street. The majority of folks from the city never actually go near that section, which is directly next to Capitol Hill.

He actually didn't show the middle class, he showed certain areas.
I watched Part 1, so I had to check out Part 2 and I enjoyed them both! Thanks, Tim J!
I truly thank you for your support!

Thank you for the info, I really appreciate it! I'll make sure to check out the real downtown on my next visit. Thanks for tuning in!
The District of Columbia is not a county. It’s a district.
Thanks for watching!
DC has Wards, not counties
Thanks for watching!
😂trash.

Someone already informed me of this. But thank you for sharing this and for watching!
I have lived in DC all of my life. The beginning is not downtown. It's Capitol Hill. People from DC shouldn't be doing videos on DC
Thanks for the information!
Slim you were bo where near downtown DC. Please stop with the false information. You were in Eastern Market walking on 7th street. The majority of folks from the city never actually go near that section, which is directly next to Capitol Hill.
You're right, I'll make sure to explore the real downtown on my next trip! Thanks for watching!
