[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe there was more acts of crime in DC in the 80s and 90s. However, the difference between then and now is that many more areas of the city and the suburbs are less safe.[/quote] More people feel safe now.

Would agree more of DC is safe now than 30 years ago. But that isn't to say crime isn't recently starting to take off. And in many ways we are comparing apples and oranges re 30 years ago. It's possible to "feel safer" because you have a higher threshold for safety than the population of 30 years ago. Few people in DC today were living here 30 years ago. [/quote]
