[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you just read the topics on DCUM you would think that DC was a crime riddled, terrible place with trash in the streets.

Then, I look out the window and wave to my neighbor and realize that DC is a wonderful place to live with great people.

I see how people get so worked up when they read forums like this. Like murderers are running through our streets with axes.

It's ridiculous. I love DC and wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

Egad, my kids even attended DC public schools and guess what - they went to college and can read.[/quote]

Tell us the wonder bread neighborhood that you live in.[/quote]

NE. Between Lamonds Riggs and Takoma.[/quote]

Well I live not far from you, and there's trash on my streets and in the alley behind the house.  No one on my block sends their kid to the in-boundary DCPS.  I like my neighbors but I wouldn't call my neighborhood safe.  I certainly wouldn't walk around it after dark.  I've lived here for over a decade.  My property value has increased rapidly, so that's good, and my commute is ok when wmata wants to function.  I like proximity to the parks and the museums, I like food here, I like the people I know.

I could do without the trash, and the crime, and I wish the schools weren't generally terrible once you hit middle school.  Other than that, DC is great.[/quote]

Schools in DC?

“An environment where students can come to school to pop their heads into the classroom to tell the teacher to mark them present, which the teacher is required to do, then proceed to socialize, wander the halls, flirt, fight, walk to the corner store for some food and come back, play games in the gym or atrium, vandalize school property, pop in on the few friends who chose to go to their class, disrupting everyone, and generally live a free and happy life without consequences.”
