[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The implication in this thread seems to be that if you (a) have the means to leave D.C. or (b) don't have to live in the District for whatever reason but (c) choose to stay here despite rising crime rates, you're somehow insulting people with less money or making the wrong choice for yourself. I disagree. Yes, crime is rising, and that's bad. And yes, that's particularly a problem in the less wealthy neighborhoods where crime is rising fastest. But why does that mean every person who's able to leave should flee? Seems like it's entirely possible to recognize that crime is bad and also choose to stay in a city that has more crime now than it did recently. [/quote] You’ve invented your own implication. Has nothing to do with whether you leave or not (no one gives a f$ck what you do). It’s insulting to pretend like crime is not a problem of that noticing it is somehow racist. [/quote]
