Number of black D.C. residents plummets as majority status slips away

The Washington Post has a rather interesting article. Here's a quote of alarmism from former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry:

“We’re going to stop this trend — gentrification,” said D.C. Council member Marion Barry (D-Ward 8). “We can’t displace old-time Washingtonians.”

Barry has a coercive idea:

“We can’t keep people from moving, but if we had a residency requirement, we could keep government workers from moving,”

Not everyone likes change.
