[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live and and was also here in the 90s. Its so trite at how that is the fallback ":well it was worse then"- sure in the number of murders but also crime seemed to be a lot more contained in certain and even to certain blocks.    I absolutely think crime is worse now, the skyrocketing of juvenile gun crimes, carjackings etc is insane.   And no one does anything.  Kids are free to rob the CVS blind daily and they know there will be no consequences, same for underage car jackings and gun crimes.  this shit is everywhere now.  I am going on 25 years now but looking to move out.[/quote]

This is true. People keep saying “but the 90’s...”, yet in the 90’s you couldn’t just walk into a CVS, grab a bunch of stuff right in front of the store workers, and just walk out the door. You couldn’t just walk over the metro gate right in front of the station agent, or just openly use drugs in busy parts of the city with no worry about the police. Now people are just brazenly doing these things in the open with zero fear of any consequences. There’s just this pervasive atmosphere of lawlessness, where people don’t even bother trying to hid their crimes anymore because they know there’s absolutely no consequences.

And the only answer from the Council is to lower consequences. There’s probably only 2 of the 13 members at the moment that actually take crime seriously (Pinto and Gray), even though polls show it’s the top concern for D.C. residents.[/quote]
