Its nobody's culture to be rude, insensitive and disrespectful of their neighbors. Don't try to normalize it or making it a race issue. |
By this logic, DC is a priceless museum. |

There should be dedicated walls for graffiti, shouldn't be allowed anywhere at a random person's impromptu impulsive choice.
There should be marked non residential areas and limited hours for dirt bikes for a license fee, just like other vehicles and other drivers. |
| There should be a hefty penalty for driving loud ATV, motorcycles and cars, either in form of social service or money. |
| They ride those ATVs en masse in Baltimore too. That's not just a DC thing. |
| Seriously…a commanders player was shot multiple times tonight and an attempted robbery or car jacking. What?? |
One of THREE shootings on H Street NE this weekend, two of which occurred in broad daylight. Incredibly depressing (I live in the neighborhood). I hope Robinson is okay and I also hope his high profile draws the needed attention to this problem. This is not okay. |
Everyone in the neighborhood needs to email Charles Allen. He’s head of the Judiciary Committee and he’s constantly making things worse. He needs to hear from constituents that real steps need to be taken to address violent crime in the neighborhood (not his bullsh*t violence interruptors that don’t work). |
His Email: callen@dccouncil.us |
I don’t even live in your neighborhood and I just emailed. Everybody who gives a crap about the district should be making a big deal about it. Our leadership is crap. Thanks for posting his contact info. |
| Most of you voted for this. You elected the people that allowed this to happen. You should be required to stay here until you vote differently. |
DC needs to deal with the crime problem soon because WFH is going to make things so much worse. It’s coming, like a tidal wave on the horizon. |
Are you saying that crime has gotten more flagrant because suburbanites don't have to come into DC and there is no need to protect them-- or anyone else? |
The other problems: Carjackings, petty thefts, homeless encampments, open drug use can be dealt with by updating the criminal code or changing political leadership. They are ephemeral. WFH is a permanent, existential problem. No matter how bad things got in 1980s and 1990s, DC could always count on the daily commuters and a steady influx of young people relocating to DC for work. Now DC will have to figure out how to get by without them. Because this is the new normal and they’re not coming back. DC will have to make itself a nice city to live in for its own sake. |
| IDK, I usually stick around Georgetown, Foggy Bottom/West End, Dupont and 14th st. If we end up going out somewhere different like Union Market, we drive. I didn't notice much difference in the areas I listed |
