Grumpy...while revitalization is needed in those neighborhoods, do you NOT realize that GENTRIFICATION is at work again. Slowly but surely folks are getting priced out, making room for transient well-to-do folk who have no desire to invest in DC nor its tax base. Get a grip. That's keeping it real.
One more thing...think about where this neighborhood is located. N. Capitol and K has just as much Capitol Skyline as Maryland Ave, but outside of Galludet students, who would such prime real estate benefit? For you to overlook that is 'damn dumb'. They won't come anywhere near NE until that debacle of road construction projects on Benning Road+H Street is completed. You should also add Carver Dwellings to your list.
