[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While there is an increase in crime, it doesn't outweigh all the other factors. The odds of me being carjacked are still really low. [b]The odds of me having a crappy commute from Virginia are pretty high.[/b] It's really hard to parse hype about crime from actual risk, but I guess home prices speak loudly.[/quote] This was always the calculus, but with WFH and hybrid here to stay I’m willing to bet that a lot of home buyers won’t put commute over a lower sense of personal safety. Also, the days of the city being the only place to go for nice restaurants/bars is over. A lot of the inner suburbs offer the same type of walkable amenities, but with lower crime. Bethesda, Arlington, Del Ray, and some of the close in town centers like Mosaic come to mind. [/quote]
