A tale of two Washington, D.C.s: How economic class factors into residents' experiences?

Editor’s note: Due to a scheduling change, this segment did not air on Aug. 27, 2025, as planned. 

How do the experiences of Washington, D.C. residents in more affluent neighborhoods — old hippies, according to Stephen Miller — differ from those in areas that struggle with poverty and crime? Are liberal, upper-income residents honest about the problems of crime in Washington, D.C.? Do Black residents in Wards 7 and 8 feel they are being used?

NPR’s Frank Langfitt reports.
