[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of the previous posters actually live in DC?  Or even in the greater DMV for that matter.

This website has been taken over by MAGA[/quote]

Agree. I live in DC with my kids. It isn’t a crime ridden hellhole as conservative media and Trump paint it.  Friends live on the block where Big Balls was attacked. There is rarely crime there.[/quote]

What?

I live in Shaw. There is such an unacceptable amount of crime here -- drug markets and people tweaking out, shootings, etc. it's real. No one in our neighborhood is unscathed -- everyone, including me, has a story about burglary, mugging, carjackings, witnessing people getting beat up.

There was a moment in 2012/2014 when i felt safe, but that's not true any more. It's slightly better than 2021 but it is still unacceptable. Whenever I leave and visit cities that are actually safe, I feel crazy for staying here.

We can't turn our knee-jerk anti Trumpism into a blindness about this problem.[/quote]

I am not blind. I just have not experience any crime beyond porch pirates. I feel safe enough to walk my puppy alone at night/early morning. There is very little crime in my area of DC.[/quote]

And yet I'm sure you will complain all day about speeding drivers, even though you're roughly a million times more likely to be murdered than be hit by a speeding driver. [/quote]

Say what?  The odds of being hit by a car are 1-in-4292 and it is higher in urban areas.  The odds of being murdered in DC are roughly equivalent, HOWEVER, 90% of all DC murders happen in Wards 7 & 8 east of the Anacostia river.  There have been an average of 2 murders in all of Ward 3 each year since 2021, with the most at 5 happening in 2015.

Neither event is super likely, but nobody who lives and mostly spends their time in Ward 3 (or Bethesda or Georgetown or other nice areas) has much risk of being murdered[/quote]
