Oh, dear god. The places in the Wedge START at $900. So, basically, in 10 years, your apartments all doubled in value (in theory).

So that's why I'm okay with the places that at least have kept the external structure of old buildings and some of their innards (though having seen some of those innards, I'm not surprised they aren't keep all of them) since they manage to make things marginally affordable. It does make me wonder how non-yuppies even manage to rent decent places (I suspect the answer is they don't, at least not in the Fan/Shockoe/etc area).
