[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what parts of Takoma Park are considered unsafe? [/quote]

What about the 14 year old shot at the metro a couple of days ago? Takoma def has the good block bad block vibe but what it absolutely also has is it surrounded by many of the worst areas in all the DC metro area. The spill over from Langley Park, Cheverly,  Brightwood, silver spring and Takoma DC absolutely effect the quality of life.  Takoma may be a cute middle school that was configured to avoid much of the piney branch corridor but it still ends up at high school with all the eastern kids. If that is good enough for someone else's kids that is cool, just not mine.[/quote]

Violence can occur at any metro station unfortunately. That shooting is uncommon.[/quote]

Seriously, blaming that shooting on the stop they happened to be near when it happened is a low blow. The shooter was from Seat Pleasant, a dozen miles away in PG county.

NP.  And wasn't the shooting on the train as it ran between the Silver Spring and Takoma stations?  As a Metro rider, any shootings on trains make me nervous, but the shooting had little to do with the neighborhood the train was passing through, and more to do with the safety of Metro in general.

TP is a huge area, including not only the awesome houses near the metro, but also the commercial stretch of New Hampshire Avenue, and even many streets east of New Hampshire and north along Flower Avenue.  All those streets near the metro stop are pretty safe.  Some other streets farther away are less safe.  There's probably a little more street crime in the areas around the metro than in Bethesda, but that's one of the reasons it's less expensive than Bethesda.  I'd say those near-metro streets are roughly comparable to Tenleytown in terms of safety.  It's a heck of a lot safer than many other neighborhoods.  Schools are good, better than DCPS.  [/quote]

Are you sure about that?  That areas closer to the metro are safer?  I actually think that most of the neighborhoods not around the metro are safer.[/quote]
