[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you live in DC, as I assume most of us do, you're perfectly able to decide whether you're scared of rising crime or not, without needing a newspaper to tell you. No one who is especially worried about crime right now would be swayed by an editorial in the opposite direction, so I don't see why anyone who isn't would be convinced by this editorial.

(This is deliberately without comment on my own feelings on the matter, obviously)[/quote]

It's sure nice to see it in writing though.

The Post is accessed all over the country (perhaps overseas).    At least the tourists are getting a heads up, along with the conference planners and attendees.[/quote]

It’s a big problem. I’m glad it’s getting coverage.

I own property here and I don’t want fking scumbags driving off all the nice citizens.[/quote]

crime going up and homeless encampments crowding the nicest parts of the city with very expensive RE isn't going to help keep higher bracket taxpayers in the city.  But from what I am hearing crime is spilling into the residential and suburban areas as well.   VA has it share of crime increases too judging from Nextdoor posts.  Their criminal laws are different though, so we will see who will fare better long term.  DC isn't heading in the right direction at the moment.  Bowser did pledge to hire more police though.[/quote]
