LMAO this is totally the spirit behind colonialism and manifest destiny. The reason why people DO NOT like transients/transplants and despise gentrification its because it's a descendant of colonialism.

Like if we had the opportunity to ask the guys who came here and killed tons of natives to take their land... i'm more than sure they'd share a similar sentiment as yours.

Literally DC is a result of colonialism.

Closing the door after the fox is in the hen house, IMO.

The US today is a free and open country when it comes to travel and choice of residence. Don’t excuse xenophobia. This city, like this country, is made out of the many.
