Play GentJump

GentJump


Play as Genny Triff and try to collect enough coins to raise your income to beat the staggering cost of living to remain in your beloved city. Use the up arrow key to jump and collect coins which increase your income by 4. Also be sure to avoid the cones because they decrease your income by 3. Good luck!

As you play the game, you will hear Jenny from the Block playing by JLo!!! However,more importantly you will see the background shift, mirroring gentrifying neighborhoods in DC. The setting starts as row houses then changes to include construction and ends in Condominium Pandemonium. Thanks for playing!

Living in DC


DC has become one of the most expensive places to live in with a median household income at about $90,000.

DC also has an unemployment rate of 7.5%, about 2.2% higher than that of the whole country.

More than half of renters in DC are spending more than 30% of their income on housing.

The rising cost of living in DC is causing many residents to struggle in finding a place to live with the growing lack of affordable housing.
