[quote=Anonymous]Lived both in Shaw proper and Columbia Heights. I live further North now, but I would buy back into CH in a second if I could. I don't know if I would want THAT specific house though. As far as the safety of the neighborhood, it is all relative. Aside from my first two weeks in Shaw 25 years ago (when I personally witnessed 2 people shot), I never had a fear for my safety. I grew up in an urban area and I had the appropriate level of street smarts. Sure, there was crime in the neighborhood (this was more than 10 years ago), but nothing that gave me pause. Plus, you have to realize that the neighborhoods are MUCH better now. A lot of development is happening and that brings better police protection IMO. Truth be told, I have been the victims of more crime (stolen car, car break-ins, stolen patio furniture) in my current upper 16th street neighborhood. [/quote]
