[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cab drivers refused to go to the Hill in 2010? I'm sorry, I'm calling BS on that. That's ridiculous. You either got one lone crazy cabbie or you live in a part of SE or NE that is not on Capitol Hill. I have lived on Capitol Hill since 2004 and even H Street has been cab central since before 2010.

It happened and still happens pretty damn regularly.  I'm sure some of it has to do with being lazy and preferring quick trips around G'town and downtown, however, they use crime as their excuse and it is a valid one.  I know a realtor who won't show people houses on the Hill until they've done independent research on crime statistics (just like many realtors won't show homes in Spring Valley until their clients have been informed about the munitions).  And yes, per capita, there are plenty of neighborhoods with crime as bad as the Hill's (neighborhoods you probably wouldn't want to live in).  However, per capita, crime in the JKLM districts isn't even in the same stratosphere as crime on the Hill.

I can't comprehend why someone would be considering moving into Brent when they could move into a JKLM school, have a safer neighborhood, a better elementary school and decent middle and high school options.  It just doesn't make sense to me.[/quote]
