[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have noticed no decline, if you worry this much about city living crime and schools, you should move to the burbs or back to your hometown. Leave the real city living to the rest of us. [/quote]

I left after living in DC since the late 80s. I lived through violent crime and lack of city services enough for one lifetime. Good luck with your “real city living” newbie! [/quote]

I am not a newbie, I have lived here my entire life in the U street area. I remember going to the CVS as a child/teen [now closed] by the Ciivl War musuem and the Rite Aid in the early hour mornings and seeing street walkers and needles. Never had an issue with being scared or harmed. The real city dwellers know each other and don't have the same issues as transplants. DC services are at an all time high, it has improved and even if services slide a bit, that would not be unusual given the cost of inflation, lack of childcare, lack of job growth, low quality of food and shrinking middle class.

What an idiotic response. Are you saying it is the victim’s fault if they are held up at gunpoint in the middle of the day because they are not a “real city dweller”? What’s your definition of a real city dweller because the natives are dying in higher numbers than the transplants.  [/quote]
