[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking to power crews yesterday who came in from out of state.  They stated that one of their teams was robbed while here.  I cannot verify if this is true but their perception is that DC is dangerous.  He stated that his spouse was worried.
Perception matters because at what point won’t we (DC) be able to get additional resources because out of state teams don’t want to come to a dangerous city.

Yes, when a major "news" source has devoted years to portraying cities in the US as landscapes of smoking rubble populated by criminal sociopaths, some people do become afraid to visit those cities.[/quote]

When people from out of town who come to DC to help restore power are robbed, that kind of confirms the belief that DC is dangerous, don't you think?[/quote]

The companies who are responsible for these visiting workers should call them home. Let DC fix it. Maybe if residents suffer, they will get mad enough to think about their vote.[/quote]

Crippling your nation's Capitol out of spite....and I bet you consider yourself a "patriot." Stay classy.[/quote]

Who is crippling the Captial-the criminals and a city lax on crime not the internet poster.  These teams have the ability to turn down the work and not come, so we all suffer.  [/quote]
