[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

We’ll consider yourself fortunate. And maybe try a little empathy for DC residents who don’t have it as good as you do. [/quote]

I live on the 14th Street corridor within spitting distance of Swann.  I too have never been a crime victim beyond porch pirates.  I’m not naive that it’s not happening, but with a little common sense you’re good.  I am much more concerned about the rat problem than the crime problem at the moment. [/quote]

Same. Rats are ridiculous. Maryland drivers are dangerous.

But I'm not worried about 15 year old boys. I'm not out buying drugs at 3 am.[/quote]

Go spend some time in Navy Yard or the Wharf and tell me you only have to be worried about feral teens at 3am. One intentionally got inches from plowing into my stroller with his bike yesterday.[/quote]
