[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who moved here in the 1990s (as I did) knew that DC had a serious crime problem and handled ourselves accordingly. The people who move here now think DC will be the same as Hartford or Omaha or Westchester or whatever whitebread area they come from and are shocked to find that DC still has big-city problems.

You can find these nitwits in the Popville comments section.[/quote]

Hah.  Expect Capitol Hill area homes [attached dwellings-row homes-townhouses] to have the same degree of issues as a townhouse complex in Mclean. 
From the "80's to today there has been massive deterioration for Union Station.  WaPo and others focus on renovations etc but some people who recently rode to DC from NYC were shocked. That includes people who ride the NYC subway etc.  Had been here winter 2022 and was even worse in 2023.

Bring back riders?  People who don't have to use it for business or personal try to avoid it.  Some people who have a carless lifestyle in NYC discussed renting a car or flying. [/quote]
