[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also live in Cap Hill.  We see crime happening around us all the time.  Everything from kids grabbing a bag of chips at 7-11 and running out to a shooting up our block.  It feels lawless and we feel less safe than we did when we moved to the neighborhood 10 years ago.  I'm afraid to sit in my car waiting for my kids activities to end because of carjackings.  DH has had enough and wants to move.  I have had enough but [b]just can't imagine where we would go where we wouldn't trade one problem for another.  [/b]But really we're probably staying because we like our house and have a super low mortgage payment compared to currently available rates.  Financially, moving to the suburbs would be a very bad decision.[/quote]

What do you think you’d be trading crime for?  Sounds like a financial decision?  [/quote]

Meaning we would move to somewhere with less crime but have other problems - giving up walking to school and the metro, adding a long commute, leaving friends/neighbors and not knowing if we would build similar relationships, forcing our kids to change schools in middle school.  [/quote]
