I see note of 'gentrification' in a post above.

No folks were displaced by the ballpark [[If I remember right between 15 - 25 folks lived in old houses in the area which wasn't residential at all - it was light industrial, kind of an urban wasteland) or the area which are now becoming apartment buildings.

This is NOT a case where poor folks got displaced by rich folk, but where light industrial area has turned into a pricey residential area. This isn't like the 70s and 80s where apartment buildings were converted to pricey condos.

For those into D.C. demographics, D.C. is a growing city [[yep, hard to believe).

Most of the new residential activity is near the Nationals Ballpark and an area called "NoMa".
