[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here-- and to all of those saying DC is becoming unsafe, I think that's really exaggerated. most crime in DC in concentrated on specific targets, for example, if there is a shooting it is never random, its gang on gang violence. always a risk to be a bystander but they're not seeking out susie to shoot at the metro. i understand that's scary.

and yes theft or car jackings are up but this is the same for friends i have in Minnesota and friends in arlington so not specific to dc.[/quote]

OP, another way to think about this is to compare to the place where you already live. DC has a fairly similar violent crime rate to Chicago overall. Immediately pre-2020, Chicago's was a little lower than DC, but the pandemic rise in crime has been larger in Chicago than it has been in DC (based on homicide data anyway). If you feel comfortable in parts of Chicago, you will probably feel comfortable with their analogues in DC.

I agree with the Capitol Hill, Glover Park, and Mt. Pleasant suggestions. People use the term Capitol Hill to refer to a very wide area, some parts of which are safer (and more Lincoln Park-like) than others. If you stick to areas that are not too far East of... Lincoln Park... you shouldn't have issues.[/quote]
