[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i can't imagine why anyone would be on the street at 17th and I at 2 in the morning on Saturday. [/quote] That comes perilously close to blaming the victim. I can't believe that there are so many apologists for violent crime here.[/quote] Totally with you, PP. The responses here are bizarro (move, what were they doing out?, it's a blip, etc.). Sometimes I feel like DCUM exists for the contrarians. They can argue about anything. Anyway, for anyone who hasn't discovered this in life...perception is reality. I personally think the stats exist that support the assertion that violent crime is on the rise and the violent crime in and around METRO is as well. That face (or perception, if you wish) is impacting whether people use the METRO system at all. Add an uptick in violent crime to ridiculous prices and mechanical safety issues and you get decreased ridership from people who have other options. That's a problem for our city. [/quote]
