[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've lived in Petworth since 2001. Raised my children here (lotteried into WOTP schools, although I see more and more neighborhood folks walking their kids to local schools each morning). Crime, while not great, is not the hellscape some try to describe. It's a great neighborhood that is accessible to other parts of the city and it's easy to get into Maryland[/quote]

You’re likely just used to the crime. ANY shootings in a residential neighborhood is unacceptable and not a place to raise a family.  There is notably higher crime in Petworth and anyone choosing to live there has either low standards or is delusional. [/quote]

I agree that shootings in any residential neighborhood are unacceptable, but mostly for the people getting shot. I lived in Petworth for 10 years, but wound up moving to Ward 3 because we didn't love our school options and our house in Petworth had appreciated to an absurd amount. Someone was shot in the alley behind our house in Petworth years before we moved out. Obviously very upsetting, but it also wasn't the reason we moved out. (And anyway, someone was shot a few blocks from our new house in Ward 3 a year ago.)[/quote]
