Yes, it was.

But still, there were predators out looking for victims at 6 on a Friday. We were very close to a violent crime on The Wharf and since have been spending more time in Georgetown for dinner, a movie, shopping, it seemed safer. My illusions about that are gone.

In the 90s, DC was so cheap. The feeling of needing to be vigilant and the financial stress put together are exhausting. In 90s crime was more predictable, witnesses, daylight, cops nearby all deterred. Now, have to be on high alert coming out of Wegmans in City Ridge on a Sunday afternoon, on the metro at peak fare times, etc. Another bad law was the service fee, costs of eating out have gone up so much. Thanks DSA for promoting that as a win. Instead restaurants are closing and people are losing their jobs, entirely predictable. I feel like we've been dropped in an episode of Portlandia with elements of Skid Row. Wish we could go back to 2017 or 2012. QoL was SO much better.
