As usual, difficulty in finding a job only becomes a major issue worthy of print when attractive young white students are finding their options limited, while alarm bells never rang from the perpetual un- and underemployment facing young black folks in SE D.C. for the past two or three decades. I'd like to add to your first paragraph that D.C. has a severely limited service sector--most shops in the District close early on weekdays and many are closed all weekend. Furthermore, there are far fewer neighborhood food service shops all across D.C. (but particularly in NE/SE) compared with a city like NYC. It used to be that absurdly expensive schools like GW were "worth it" in the end because they opened the door to employment. I'd be curious to see what happens to these universities when prospective students realize this is no longer true...]]> Post the other day and I like your interpretation of it.
