[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine closing on a million dollar row house in Brightwood and a month or two later have a triple homicide drive by shooting happen at 7:30 PM at the neighborhood park.

Brightwood Park /=/ Brightwood. But your point stands because lately this BS is happening all over the city next to expensive homes. [/quote]

But these homes were not the “expensive” ones until recently but the crime has always been there. So these folks chose to live in these neighborhoods that have a track record of shooting. [/quote]

Right. That was my point. I was just pointing out that PP got the neighborhood wrong. But it’s the same shit all over…Petworth, Shaw, CH, Brightwood Park, Logan Circle/14th street, whatever. The crime is emanating from hotspots that have always existed in these neighborhoods but now the hotspots are surrounded by million dollar homes. The people who buy there know the risks, but that doesn’t make the crime okay. It should have never existed in the first place, even when these areas were poor (but nobody cared then). The city needs to do better. [/quote]
