[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not leaving, crime happens everywhere, I am not sure why people on here claim they were safer a decade ago. Some of the data is skewed, I am quite sure every few years MPD plays with the crime numbers in order to increase their budget size and stoke fear into the populace.

Sure a few incidents have happened in Ward 3 but that is "normal" given that previously it was shielded from needy residents w/o homes. So in a way, Ward 3 residents created a fake utopian bubble that has long needed to burst. [/quote]

You act as if Ward 3 residents deserve to experience crime. Ward 3 residents pay high taxes to support the rest of the city. Ward 3 residents paid higher property prices in exchange for living a safe place. They could easily live in the suburbs but choose not. . And what they pay in taxes --including property taxes- benefits the rest of the city. If that area is no longer safe, ward 3 residents will move out of DC. The property values and tax base will go down. It will be the 80s all over again but with more gun violence and car jackings. [/quote]

It’s hard to sympathize with Ward 3 when you keep electing super progressives and socialist ANC reps and councilmen.  This is what being “welcoming” looks like.  [/quote]
