[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If You look at the map though, you'll see that most of the residential neighborhoods near DTSS are still very safe, with no shootings recorded since 2014.[/quote]
West of DTSS is Woodside, which then very quickly gives way to Chevy Chase. The local activists believe these safe neighborhoods are filled with NIMBY racists. East is the Takoma Park Historic District. This is a famously NIMBY neighborhood but the aforementioned activists live here so they don’t normally talk about it. These neighborhoods are mostly white and feature million dollar homes. You can see how the violence follows Thayer to the park where these murders happened (there is a huge low income apartment complex there) and after Sligo it picks up at Flower and Piney Branch.

In other words, it’s very easy to discern why some neighborhoods are safe and why some are not. In White Oak you can even see a cluster gun homicides around a very specific apartment complex. [/quote]

I’m happy to be called a “NIMBY racist” if it keeps the violence out of my neighborhood. [/quote]
