[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure where people are seeing an uptick in crime. These numbers are normal for a city the size of DC.

Be smart and be vigilant, but this is not Fairview, CT, if that's what you're looking for obviously you'll be sorely disappointed. DC is vastly safer than LA, Miami, Chicago, NY, and parts of TX.

If you feel you should be able to walk around drunk, half dressed, while wearing expensive attire, the latest phone in hand and without a care in the world to your surroundings, this is not the place for you. You'll need to move elsewhere for that. True city living is about adaptation. [/quote]

There is a 39% increase in violent crime in DC YTD year on year over 2022. On track for worst homicide rate in 20 years. Do you live in a rich area because those of us in the high crime areas do not accept hearing gunshots and worrying about ourselves and kids being struck in crossfire when drive by happen within blocks of our home.  Stick your head in the sand much? Scoff at Black and Brown bodies being predominantly impacted as no big deal because you live in your white rich bubble of upper NW?

Pardon the rant but scr*w you and your oblivion to the obviously increased crime.[/quote]

DP and ignores that im cities mentioned, violent crime is DECREASING while dramatically increasing in DC.

Again keep sticking your head in the sand.[/quote]
