[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a very nice NYE in Adams Morgan without anyone mentioning a car jacking mugging or murder concern. Different people have different perspectives. The real reality check is that your opinion is not shared by the majority of dc residents, and all the vitriol you share here and on x isn't helping sway others.
I understand that having a scapegoat for a crime increase is a comforting feeling, but it won't lead to any meaningful change or progress.

Not my post on X. I don't think there is one scapegoat, just a trajectory that is an outlier among major D cities. How long have you been in DC?  [/quote]

19 years. Lived on h st during the Murray's era, when you had to tell cabs NORTHEAST as clearly as possible AFTER you got in the cab because nobody wanted to drive there.

This past year was insanely bad. I work for the city and hate how this year went. While I don't think it's all Bowsers fault, I think it's very clear we've had a disinterested executive since at least 2020 when the Bloomberg VP bid flamed out and she realized that nationally she didn't have anywhere to go.[/quote]

The decline is striking for sure. I also don't think it's all down to Bowser, a lot has to do with the Council, Graves, Schwab and judges, both at DC Sup Ct and COA. I don't think the RW or TW would have been some huge improvement over her.

Here since early 90s, EoTP for most of it. Sad to see a lot of gains slipping away. Would NEVER have imagined Baltimore as safer. I joke they should reboot The Wire, set it in DC and maybe public attention and shame will ultimately help save us all.

The trajectory could be turned around but those in power seem disinterested. Death by 1,000 cuts to the QoL here. I know people who are similarly stuck due to work, it's hard. [/quote]
