I’ve lived here 25 years.
I send my kids to DCPS.
I’ve rebuilt schools for the unfortunate.
I’ve built communities from nothing.
I’ve built more homes in dc than I can count.
I’ve saved the city literally millions of dollars through my work.
And now I’m Jack Galt.

I read Atlas Shrugged when I was a young man. It resonated with me then but over time I came to see it as a little crazy.
Now the crazy thing is that I feel like I& #39;m living the book out in real life.
I& #39;ve made massive contributions to my city and they& #39;re driving me away.

I believed in this City when few other people did. I have invested millions of dollars into rebuilding it. I have literally saved the city millions of dollars through my work. I& #39;ve lifted entire communities through force of will.
Yet none of that matters.
It& #39;s sad. and scary.

I& #39;ve lived in "transitioning" neighborhoods as well as snobby enclaves.
I tolerated gun shots, murders, open air drug dealing, street walkers, trash, harassment, and all kinds of other shit for years because I & #39;believed in the city.& #39;
But now there& #39;s nothing left to believe in.

To everyone saying, "just leave" :
I wish it were that simple.
If it were solely up to me, and it is not, I would have been gone months ago.
This transition will take time but believe me it& #39;s already begun.
First step, spend less time and money here.

DC rode a wave of re-population and investment for thirty years.
It& #39;s been the underlying force that defined the city.
It& #39;s crazy to think the tide has turned and we can pin point the exact time it happened:
May 30th 2020.

Not only is the city crumbling, which would be enough.
But two years ago the same city I served for so long decided to fire me because ANTIFA raised a mob.
I haven& #39;t just been quietly shunned...
They& #39;ve specifically targeted me.
Doxed, swatted, fired.
And now self-exiled.

I& #39;m not a complainer. I& #39;m simply noting these historic events.
Personally, I take action.
I created a community of Men who share my values + we have our own network now that goes Coast to Coast.
I& #39;m building from the ground up as I criticize from the top down.
