[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop being an alarmist. Everyone knows that Woodley Park is not a dangerous neighborhood, and it is unlikely that you will be a crime victim there. Crime can (and does) happen anywhere--multiple women recently being assaulted on the Capital Crescent Trail (in Bethesda) anyone? That being said, many people who move to the burbs do so to get more house for their money. I'm sure that the majority of people who own single family homes in Woodley Park can pretty much afford to move into ANY suburban neighborhood in the metro area.

Stop being an apologist.  No one is saying that Woodley Park is the hood.  But the data show that it is less safe than the suburbs.  There's a place for people (like you) who have problems accepting reality---it's called the Republican Party.[/quote]

No, I'm just someone who would choose to live in WP any day of the week over any burb around here.  You, on the other hand, appear to be trying to justify living in your boring, bland and SAFE suburban neighborhood with the increased commute.  I get it--statistically speaking, Bethesda is safer than WP.  And Orem, Utah is safer than Bethesda--I wouldn't want to live there either. The reality that you fail to accept is that WP is still very safe.  So someone who chooses to live in WP over Bethesda (because surely you're not saying that every suburb is safer than WP) is putting themselves at an increased risk for crime that is negligible.  My point is that if a WP homeowner wanted a marginally safer neighborhood in the burbs, they could most likely afford to pick up and move to said burb.  The reverse is not usually the case.  It's always good to have options.
