Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Houses on New Hampshire Ave. in Petworth.
Home values are steadily rising in D.C., especially in emerging neighborhoods like Petworth, Bloomingdale and Columbia Heights. The city’s hot real estate market has brought with it an influx of house flippers, or developers who buy homes, fix them up, then re-sell them for a quick profit. Too often, though, the renovations mask illegal or unsafe construction hidden beneath. We explore D.C.’s thriving market for renovated homes and the city’s efforts to regulate it.
