[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were like you until we encountered all of the following while living close to Columbia Heights:

- Cars broken into multiple times
- Neighbor murdered in a nearby alley
- Next-door neighbors ranged from noisy college grads to gang members
- Man on block arrested for threatening POTUS
- Spouse was confronted by man exposing himself in DC public library
- Syringes left on playground at local ES
- Drunks urinated in alley behind house
- Local teenagers hung out on corner smoking and selling weed
- Teen moms would ask us to look out after their kids for an hour, and come back five hours later
- Kids who'd played together as toddlers stopped seeing each other because they were all at different pre-schools and privates

Dunno, maybe you have to experience some of that first-hand to appreciate people who take care of their yards and decorate for XMas.

Hey (former) neighbor! I'll add (in no particular order):

- Flowers my daughter planted chopped down from our garden
- Gun shots heard 2-3 weekends per month
- Mailing packages and furniture to work so they won't be stolen
- Neighbor tween threatening me with a brick in front of my toddler
- Six year olds playing in the street until 11pm on school nights
- Flash mob fights in the alley behind my house
- Stolen Xmas decorations and porch furniture
- Crappy local schools and nail-biting charter lotteries
- Rats, dog crap and litter everywhere
