[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a walk around the city.  Talk to people.  Crime is up by a ton. Police are just making it harder and harder to report it.  I personally went to the police station to report a crime a couple months ago.  There were two people in line in front of me.  No reports were actually filed as the police basically refused to do anything.  This is the same as I have seen on the streets.  These stats are fully fake.[/quote]

+1  I think these stats reflect that Ward 3 residents are more likely to be lawyers, have lawyers, or be taken seriously by the police.  Crime was significantly up in my small slice of Ward 4 but the refrain was constant: we found bullet casings and shattered windows, but didn't see anything, so nothing to report.  Lucky if it even gets filed as property crime, mostly it just disappears.  My cleaner's car was broken into twice in 3 months during the few hour stretch it was parked during the afternoon - the first time she didn't file a report the second time she got a lecture about leaving anything in her car, and the cop still didn't make a report.[/quote]

Crime in Ward 3 is generally up by a lot, 100 percent in Cleveland Park and up more than 50 percent in Forest Hills.  Look at the MPD Crime stat maps.  There's a big spike in crime on the "Voucher Corridor", Connecticut Avenue apartment buildings.[/quote]
