[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not suggesting that anyone should avoid the H Street corridor.  I am just not as willing to blithely dismiss serious issues as you seem to be.  It's not simply a matter of one senseless murder which occurred two years ago.  I am happy that the area is continuing to be less "transitional" but recent events show there is still a long way to go.  [/quote]

I agree.  I spend time on H street and give local businesses support.  However these are serious issues.  I am not going to over pay for a home in an area where street crime is still a large presence.  I actually find it mind boggling that people with small children would spend so much money on a home in Stanton Park.[/quote]

Quit nannyjacking this thread. This area isn't unsafe, at least anymore so than the Hill in general.  The crime stats are not alarming nor is street crime a "large presence." Just because an attention grabbing incident occurred near a school does not prove anything about the school or the neighborhood.  As other PPs mentioned, Georgetown has had it's share of alarming incidents in recent years, none of which qualify it as unsafe.
