In most big cities violent crime is declining. In Washington the opposite is true

By doing what exactly? By telling federal prosecutors to do their damn job?

Just by holding hearings they forced the USAO to prosecute a higher percentage of crimes. They can certainly do more and hopefully they will.

Stupidest thing a city has ever done.

Again … this was vandalism. Not the city.

How long was it left there to see?

The city painted over it the next day, which pissed off the BLM people.

Some republican troll posts that pic over and over again in these threads. And every time people are fooled into thinking the DC government did it. [/quote

Surprised that BLM leadership even noticed, as they were so busy buying lux real estate for themselves.

Our streets have literally become the battle grounds for the social justice wars. When even the police, prosecutors and judges have turned pro-criminal, you know this city is totally cooked.

Just as Iowa has the politically powerful Farm Bloc, DC caters to the Cell Block.

And in Iowa, the political "base" wants ethanol; in DC the "base" wants fentanyl.

BRINE in Dupont closing due to crime. Watching owner on the news. My husband and I had been wanting to try it ... too late now

Wells Fargo Bank on Wisconsin Ave is closing, possibly because they are powerless to evict a vagrant (who exposes himself to customers) from the ATM lobby. Apparently the vagrant has “rights” to stay there.

Baltimore is worried about DC violence spilling over to ruin it!

Why is Wells Fargo closing?

Frumin needs to address the Cathedral Commons zone. The Giant Plaza is being neglected. Equity and density should come with services and oversight.

Obviously there’s not enough vibrancy and density at that location.

DC is allowing crime to happen and not chosing to prosecute it they are eventually asking for it and voters are supporting it

18.2% are cases in which a victim does not want to assist in the prosecution. According to Graves many of those are low level cases. He offered that one such group of cases is minor domestic violence in which D.C.’s “mandatory arrest” policy mandates police arrest someone.
13.9% are cases in which there is insufficient evidence.
7.2% are not prosecuted due to prosecutorial discretion.
2.9% are declined when prosecutors determine there is an affirmative defense such as self-defense.

Wrong. They put section 8 housing smack in the middle of that strip. It has demolished Glover Park.
