[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in DC (EOTP, in Park View near Columbia Heights) and I am not worried about crime. It was a little touchy immediately post Covid but things have seemed fine recently. I feel comfortable walking around at night. My main complaint is litter is just terrible and I wish they put out more public trash cans. But DC is thriving and the people who fear mongered during covid should just spend a few hours along any of the commercial/retail strips and see how strong DC is right now. [/quote]

Nice try at gaslighting. Please.[/quote]

When is the last time you or anyone in this thread clutching their pearls actually stepped foot in DC? And I don’t mean driving on 295, try actually leaving your car.

But it’s ok, we don’t mind if boring suburban people stay away. [/quote]

I’m sorry, but it’s not remotely true that DC is “thriving” right now.

+1, 20 year resident here, I've made my life, had kids, and pay taxes in DC. I am not happy with the direction of the city, the policy positions of the progressive wing of the Council, or the attitude of many that everything is "fine" and that we just have to accept a certain level of violent crime as inevitable.

I don't understand how you can learn of children being shot and killed on the streets and then claim that crime concern is "overblown" or just overstated by people who don't live here. Look around.[/quote]
