[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the early 90s, things were kind of predictable. SE, east of 14th, Shaw, Logan Circle, Malcolm X Park were basically no go zones. But NW was always very safe. And then for twenty years everything improved. Almost all of DC was accessible and interesting. But something snapped in the past five years. Our murder rate has doubled. Carjackings are out of control. The police don't even respond to most robberies. Our real crime rate is a lot higher than official statistics. And it seems to happen everywhere. It's unpredictable. A lot of the violent crime seems to be driven by teenage boys. Back in the day it was crack and gangs. There was at least a logic to it. Now it seems like anarchy. It feels less safe now than before.[/quote] This is quite a myopic statement.[/quote]
