Washington, DC
Prices in the District have run up quite a bit over the past few years; probably beyond the city's ability to sustain.
Many of the big money earners long ago decamped for points east (Maryland shore) or west (Fairfax County) leaving behind moderate income earners and the poor. These residents cannot afford to pay any more for housing than they already are shelling out.
