Agree. I live in DC with my kids. It isn’t a crime ridden hellhole as conservative media and Trump paint it. Friends live on the block where Big Balls was attacked. There is rarely crime there.

What?

I live in Shaw. There is such an unacceptable amount of crime here -- drug markets and people tweaking out, shootings, etc. it's real. No one in our neighborhood is unscathed -- everyone, including me, has a story about burglary, mugging, carjackings, witnessing people getting beat up.

There was a moment in 2012/2014 when i felt safe, but that's not true any more. It's slightly better than 2021 but it is still unacceptable. Whenever I leave and visit cities that are actually safe, I feel crazy for staying here.

We can't turn our knee-jerk anti Trumpism into a blindness about this problem.

I am not blind. I just have not experience any crime beyond porch pirates. I feel safe enough to walk my puppy alone at night/early morning. There is very little crime in my area of DC.

And yet I'm sure you will complain all day about speeding drivers, even though you're roughly a million times more likely to be murdered than be hit by a speeding driver.

Say what? The odds of being hit by a car are 1-in-4292 and it is higher in urban areas. The odds of being murdered in DC are roughly equivalent, HOWEVER, 90% of all DC murders happen in Wards 7 & 8 east of the Anacostia river. There have been an average of 2 murders in all of Ward 3 each year since 2021, with the most at 5 happening in 2015.

Neither event is super likely, but nobody who lives and mostly spends their time in Ward 3 (or Bethesda or Georgetown or other nice areas) has much risk of being murdered

Even if you chalked up 90 percent of murders to Wards 7 and 8, people in other wards would still be more likely to be murdered than killed by speeding drivers. That’s how few people are killed by speeding drivers in this city. It is very, very rare.

In the past five years I’ve been the victim of three crimes in DC. I only filed a police report on one of them since it involved several thousands of dollars of loss and I needed a report for insurance. I’m sure there are hundreds more like me. Crime in DC is really bad.

By "MAGA," are you referring to anyone who is even slightly conservative? Because that's what you tend to do when someone disagrees with you: label them "MAGA". Plenty of people live in the DMV who are not LWNJs - sorry to disappoint.

For every one person killed by a vehicle there are 10 injured, while even being injured by crime in safe wards is nearly zero. So yeah…I worry more about an errant driver hitting me than being the victim of any crime…but I don’t really worry a ton about either.

I’ve lived here 25 years and have never had even a package stolen and don’t know a single person who is a victim of crime.

But neither my anecdote or yours is relevant nor your made up extrapolation…that’s like me saying there must be zero crime because I have never been a victim.

What neighborhood are you in? Would be helpful context. I’m in LaFayette ES area and I’d say almost 50% of neighborhood have had a package stolen or car window smashed. Most do not call police because they know it would be pointless and could potentially hurt property values.

Hmm. The homeless have dozens of issues beyond the cost of rent. Look at the results of every housing subsidy program ever. ACA is not tied to jobs. Mental health treatment is so unmanaged in plans, including the ACA, that it’s the most profitable growth sector (and actually questionable element) of the health system.

MAGA has nothing to do with conservatives. MAGA is just a bunch of mentally ill people who embrace a false god.

CC DC also in Lafayette ES.

It’s pretty stupid to think calling the police will hurt property values, nor do I know a single person who thinks like that.

You don’t think people check crime rates and school reviews before making the most important financial decision of their lives, really?

Not really…everyone knows this is a safe neighborhood. Nobody cares if there are police reports about packages being stolen.

Any high profile crime would be heard about.

It’s silly if you think your Upper NW home value is going to suffer due to Amazon packages getting swiped.

I mean…go check the sexual offense registry and you will find a decent number living close to you…it’s what it is if you live in any city.

Are the homeless committing crimes? The people preventing the young DOGE employee from doing whatever he was doing at 3:00 am were teenagers from Maryland.
