Metropolitan DC Local Politics
| Navy yard, southwest waterfront and city center are ripe for robberies. I stay away from those areas like the plague. Too much high concentration of “ wealth”. I go in the opposite direction. Until DC can get a handle on crime- I’m not stepping foot in a field mine. |
Those sheeps will demonstrate only when their owner tells them. Look at organized BLM protests. Look at the amount of people protesting today in front of Austin's and Sullivan's houses in support of Palestine. |
| Really sad after everything lululemon has gone through as a brand in this area 😔 |

Having little shops is what makes cities vibrant.
It used to be the mayor and other elected officials were proud to support the retailers in their city. |
Navy Yard is ghetto. I don’t know why people pay so much to live there. |
There have been carjackings on foxhall road this year. Nowhere in DC is safe now that criminals have figured out there are zero consequences for crime. |

Another harbinger of how quickly DC is declining. Navy Yard, the Wharf, City Center, and Gallery Place/Chinatown have been major development projects for the past 20 years. Literally, billions invested. And for a number of years it was all great. No one worried about their safety. But after BLM and the collapse of policing and prosecutions, the city is reverting to what what it was in the 80s. Lawless. A ghost town downtown. No one wants to go there. Even the sports teams are leaving. DC is quickly entering a doom loop. Until DC gets really tough on crime and prosecutors and judges do their jobs, the death spiral will continue. And I don't see that changing. Voters in DC will always vote for progressives. And they value spending a quarter of a million dollars repainting the Black Lives Matter sign on 16th over actually arresting the few hundred criminals that are terrorizing this city. |
| Yup. |
Snort; Fox news??!? |
We avoid going into DC if at all possible. It just is not worth the risks. |
I thought they own the one in Adams Morgan, but the one in Georgetown has the same parent company (Fleet Feet). |
That’s really silly and hysterical. Crime is a problem, but a lot of NW isn’t experiencing this. I live near Georgetown and see none of this. |
That's because nothing is worth robbing these days in Georgetown. |
Low information and must not really follow the news. Carjackings on that side of town not quite daily, but definitely weekly. I live in a nice area of town but stopped a volunteer project I did every week mainly to limit metro time back and forth. |
You don't like the source, so you question the veracity of the story? You're hiding your head in the sand, honey. (and, it is not "Fox News." It is a local Fox affiliate.) |
