[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to feel safe at the library, get in your car, and drive to an exurb. 
You love your walkable, transit oriented neighborhood? So do homeless derelicts.[/quote]

I have never felt unsafe at nay library in Alexandria, the main library in Arlington (the one in Va Square) or the Shirlington library.

So I am not sure what you are talking about.  (I did have an issue when the kids program at Shirlington was so loud it was hard for me to focus on reading).  [/quote]

Did you read this thread? Obviously not. So glad you feel safe in Shirlington. I do too, but I’m not oblivious to homeless dudes hanging around. They’ve never bothered me. 
However, if I didn’t want to see them? I’d drive to Middleburg.[/quote]

I did read the thread (awful though it is).   The PP above says to feel safe at the library drive to an exurb and avoid walkable TOD.  That is simply not correct. Maybe DC has issues with this, and even a library or two in Arlington (did someone say Clarendon?)  but it is NOT a problem at all libraries in walkable places, TOD, or in the inner jurisdictions generally.
