[quote=Anonymous]This has me feeling uncomfortable -- DH's office relocated to NOMA recently. I keep wondering if all of the talk about increased crime is fear-mongering, or if things really are unsafe. I mean, I know stats are stats, and there is a clear increase in certain crimes, but stats reflecting an increase in crime aren't necessarily enough to cause legit worry for the safety of loved ones -- and I'm not sure where we are with all this. Some friends who have been living in Anacostia for almost 15 years are leaving the area. They have decided it is no place to raise their child (now about 3 I think?) due to the increase in crime and the lack of quality public education (they can't afford private). I think the DW was feeling unsafe, and like I said -- they had lived there a long time without that being a problem, and now it is enough of one that they are moving. [/quote]
