To all the people telling us millennials to suck it up, that this is how it has always been: please pull your head out of the sand. DC is in the midst of a serious affordable housing crisis. People are spending a significantly larger percentage on housing than they ever have before. http://www.dcfpi.org/nowhere-to-go-as-dc-housing-costs-rise-residents-are-left-with-fewer-affordable-housing-options. It's expensive in the city, it's expensive in the suburbs, it's exorbitantly expensive in sought-after neighborhoods, but it's still expensive even in areas that are not. Those new apartments by the Rhode Island ave metro? Starting at $1700/month for a 1BR. Insane.

I thought I'd never be able to afford to buy a home in a safe, walkable, metro-able area close in to DC...and then I went to grad school at UMD and discovered there is a whole world of affordable housing in PG county. It's amazing the kind of premium you apparently pay to live amongst white people.
