[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are being so weirdly alarmist about Capitol Hill. Yes, what happened to the Maslins was horrible. And there are occasional muggings, like in most other urban neighborhoods. But I've lived in a very transitional part of Capitol Hill for 7 years and never once felt in danger. The worst thing that's ever happened to us is having our car window broken and our change stolen.

There is so much to love about this area, from Eastern Market to H Street's restaurant scene to all the parks and improving schools, it seems crazy to dismiss Capitol Hill because of crime. It just isn't that bad.[/quote]

Bullshit, the two most crime infested wards (7 and 8) are just across the river and Hill residents end up being nothing more than prey to the thugs coming across for a quick B&E, mugging, or worse. The Hill has more than its share of section 8 housing, low income housing projects and the former DC General hospital is now a homeless center.  It will take years for this section of the city to be considered safe by most peoples standards.  [/quote]
