[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It’s to the point where I now have to strategize about how to safely get my kid out of an uber at Union Station (where carjackings happen daily) and worry about him getting hit by a speeding 14 year old in a stolen Kia.[/quote]

We've been at this point but many had not realized it or were told by Elissa Silverman that worrying about safety was "MAGA."

The Council, but for Pinto, are quite under the thrall of many anti-carceral activists. They allow them to write legislation and parrot the talking points that the activists draft.

It's the reality of the situation. That is why they are putting a vicious murder on the Sentencing Commission, not a victim activist or a family member of one of the hundreds of homicide victims, including children.

That is why families (and others) are moving. If you don't know any now, you soon will, or may become one.

In the 90s, families could live with a reasonable degree of safety in Ward 3, go to work downtown and Union Station was the site of fancy dress events like inaugural balls and expensive weddings.

It's getting harder and harder to make safety an issue that is only for "others." Especially if you have tween and teen kids who are out, who are driving, who may run errands for you at Wegman's in City Ridge on a Sunday afternoon.

The DC Council, USAO, AG and many judges who were former public defenders do not prioritize public safety and there is little anyone can do to "make them" in the short term at least.

Almost 1,000 carjackings in DC in 2023 and 7,000 stolen autos.

This. My husband is dropping me off and picking me up from places I used to walk to. It's not sustainable.[/quote]

Ummm carjackings are the crime in DC that has had the greatest increase year over year - if you are paranoid about crime doing more driving and stopping and idling is exactly what you should not be doing.[/quote]
