It's funny that JLG championed soft-on-crime policies that led to a really nutso explosion in crime in the city....

....and then that led to Trump commandeering the DC police force and putting troops on every corner, and that led to a precipitous drop in crime, but also pissed everyone off....

....and then JLG used that widespread antipathy towards Trump to get herself a promotion....

....which she will no doubt now use to revive her pro-criminal policies, which will mean crime will soar once againn....

....and then that will lead to guess what?

NG is only in the wealthy, majority white areas. Just saying.

At this point, the guard has mostly left the city. I only see them in tourist areas. But crime has really abated in the past year.

Crime is down everywhere 🤷🏿

Did y’all miss the whole report with data about how the national guard had ZERO effect on violent crime?

Was this the same report that said that there were 274 murders in 2023 and this year we are on track to have the lowest murder rate in recorded history? That report?

I’m sure the 3,000 soldiers being in the city had absolutely no deterrent on crime because you know criminals love to carjack and kill people right in front of armed soldiers. They actually prefer to do it I’ve read.

SMH. This city is doomed.

And what explains the even greater declines in violent crime recorded over the same period in cities that have no NG deployments? Magic?

New US Attorneys who do their job? Local police no longer afraid of getting dragged to the White House for a beer summit? Etc?

Dude sent his kids to GDS. Why would any public school parent vote for him?

Maybe because they don't want to get robbed walking their kids to school.

Murder rates dropped by 40%+ nationwide after Trump took power?

Mysteriously, murder rates have been dropping by similar percentages in the year before he took power.

If only the world were as simple as your mind apparently is.

This is why we are screwed. People who voted for JLG don’t have ample skin in the game and are just reactionary.

You also can't send your kids to school here. You're making yourself out to be more important than you really are in the grand scheme of things.

EINSTEIN- if we no longer have the income tax of the rich, who will pay for our schools??? You see, if the folks who can afford 2 homes identify another jurisdiction as their primary, THEY DON’T PAY INCOME TAX HERE. Homestead deduction may be a couple thousand a year. Income tax may be tens of thousands, if not more. Take another long bong hit and settle down for the day.

You gotta be a special kind of crazy to be a landlord in the District. It’s playing on hard mode with all the power of the State against you

Rates have been dropping since the pandemic, during the Biden administration...🤷🏿

Crime started going down in Baltimore...during Biden.

Most of the folks I know who have the ability to switch residency to their second homes no longer have school age kids . . . and the ones that do send their kids to private. DC is in an economic tailspin---so instead of trying to shore up the part of the tax base who is willingly paying 9% income tax when they could easily move, DC is now primed to tax them further. It's like being a businessowner and when you don't have enough buyers for your $100 item, you decide to increase the price to $200. Makes no sense.

+1,000

It is actually 10.75 percent but who is counting

Great point. I think NYC just solved that problem. If only we had a mayor that was amenable...
