[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in the U Street / Logan area.  Moved here 12 years ago as youngish empty nesters.  The first week we were here we were victims of a smash and grab.  We learned then that you can’t leave anything in your car.  Other than that, we haven’t been victims of any crime at all other than the occasional theft of Amazon deliveries.  I will say, though, that it used to be that that never happened and has now reached the point where we don’t have packages delivered at all unless we really have to.

I know a new local cop who told me at a local bar the other day that violent crime in our immediate vicinity has absolutely 100 percent gotten worse recently and is even higher than the city lets on.  I don’t worry about that personally because, other than the obvious risk of us, being unintended or random victims, we generally don’t lead the kind of lifestyle that is likely to make us victims. However, I am sad and disappointed for the city in general.

No plans to move, but really want to see something done already.  [/quote]

Crime is just something hyped by right wingers, according to some. It’s not a problem.

The WaPo conducted a very scientific poll and according to them, 3 out of 4 of the people they asked felt safe in their neighborhood.

You can believe everything in the WaPo right?[/quote]
