[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are newcomers going to settle in DC at the same rate or will they go to close in suburbs or other cities if concerned about the thousands in stolen cars, 700+ carjackings and random street crime? How will DC attract and retain those who DO pay taxes and don't consume expensive services? When DC was cheap in the DC was a better trade off re: safety, now it's high crime AND high costs + more remote work options. We'd really like to stay but things can't keep going on this way. [/quote] just to point out, UMC “consumer expensive services” in the form of schools, road maintenance, etc. and if you look at the data DC is losing a huge chunk of taxable income from lower-income people moving to PG. The need for better safety is more acute in Wards 7 and 8, and those wards bleed working, taxpaying households in large numbers. [/quote]
