[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]has there been a correlation made between the shooters being residents of the Shelton? It seems like a lot of posters are indicating that is where the issues are coming from, is that accurate? What’s with this building and why do people think it’s such a problem? [/quote]

The infamous line when any crime occurs in GV is "but the criminal was from MD (or a different neighborhood not GV!" The most recent shooter was from Arlington but I don't know where he lived specifically. Folks name the Shelton because it is right across the street. I think folks blame the affordable housing complexes (there are three in the immediate vicinity), rightfully or wrongfully because crime is often associated with affordable housing ESPECIALLY when concentrated into one area.

I don't know where all the folks are from or if they live in GV or not, but for some reason that spot has become attractive to folks. In the past, there have been other pockets in the neighborhood that were trouble, but most of those are gone now with people moving/dying/going to jail. The last remaining spot seems to be in front of the Shelton. But that area was a hang out spot long before the Shelton existed. [/quote]
