lolwut? this says "Washington, DC" but it's actually just Arlington. DC has been gentrifying for decades, despite the protests of very involved activist citizen groups.
Arlington avoided price rises because it and the surrounding NoVA area was still being built out, so profits for landowners and management companies could be maximized by planning for growth, and providing the amenities that would bring in more middle-class renters. Washington, DC was built out ages ago; there is nowhere for prices to go but up.
