[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm strongly in favor of improving our neighborhood. Who wants to live in crime and filth?[/quote]

Well people would rather not have their rent double and end up homeless.[/quote]

People also don't want to be shot by 13 year old carjackers or have their kids mowed down by ATVs walking home from school. The increasing disorder and lawlessness is the most pressing problem in DC.[/quote]

You can't have nice things in an urban environment. [/quote]

London, Paris, Hong Kong. All even more urban than DC and they would not tolerate these levels of violence and filth.[/quote]

You have to be kidding me. Last month two friends of mine flew into Paris and took a taxi from CDG into the city. While they were on the highway near the Stade de France in bumper to bumper traffic, a group of motorcycles zoomed to their taxi surrounding it. Two men broke the glass to the back seats and grabbed their luggage, purses and bookbags (basically all the stuff they had in the back seat with them). Then they punched the women in the face and zoomed away. Police think the taxi driver may have been in on it.

You think Paris doesn't have crime? [b]Are you high?[/b][/quote]

You're right, London police wouldn't do anything if marauding ATV gangs were racing around Buckingham palace. And the murder rate in Paris is definitely higher than DC  :roll: [/quote]
