[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Union Station has always been sketchy, like since the 80s. [/quote]

Wrong. Union Station was renovated in 1988 and it became a shopping and dining destination. I went there for years and never felt unsafe. It’s only been with the rise of the homelessness and lawlessness in the past ten years that it has really declined.  [/quote]

We use to lunch there when I worked nearby in the 00s, and I’ve met friends for dinner at the nice restaurants.

It’s a gorgeous building and sad how far it’s fallen.

+2 Much of DC became unsafe after the riots following MLK's murder in 1968. Then it got better during the early 2000's. Now it's on the decline again due to progressive policies such as extended school closures and being soft on crime. It's so sad to see what's happening to DC.

We finally had enough and moved after our once-safe neighborhood had a spike in crime that isn't going away plus couldn't deal with DC politics and the DCPS decline. It's night and day to be in a neighborhood where it's safe for our kids to bike and walk around. I lived in DC for over 20 years and never thought I'd leave until the insanity that started with the pandemic. [/quote]
