@HogWash:

Your argument seems self-contradictory.

In one sentence, you argue that there's no sort of backlash to the fact that streetcars and CaBi (and bike lanes, and dog-parks, etc, etc...) are seen as part of the dominant culture, forced upon folks who want nothing to do with it.

Then turn around immediately, and say it's being rejected because citizens East of the river resent being told what to do by "friends west of us".

Finally, the average household income in Anacostia is, what, less than half of the city at-large? And unemployment was--as of the last election--something like 20%? So I don't think it's unreasonable to infer that folks east of the river, in general, tend to take their position in the middle-class a bit less for granted than those west.
