[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homicides for the year currently stand at 227 for the year. The most since 2004.

It’s a 37% jump over the last two years from the 166 at the end of 2019. [/quote]

I do t understand all the pearl-clutching.  This is just part and parcel of living in a large and vibrant urban environment.[/quote]

Vibrant. Yeah, right. DC is a $h1th0le. Bums, crackheads, gangs, drug dealers, a crappy, run-down metro system, but the worst part are all the gosh darn politicians. Lowest people on the planet. [/quote]

All of them are democrats.  And if you are a democrat,

- YOU VOTED FOR THIS.  All of it.

[b]Elections have consequences.  Enjoy the DC you helped create[/b]! [/quote]

We are! Thank you so much for noticing. Cry more, Right Winger.[/quote]

The problem is that there are only wacko choices. No one reasonable runs, so reasonable people like me are left deciding between wacko 1 or wacko 2. [/quote]
I will just say that no matter how badly things seem now, at the very least things are not as bad as other parts of the country. Sure, crime is a bit higher in DC buy at least there is public investment in infrastructure and services. There are a lot of places in the country with high crime and low public investment and there are shockingly a lot of places, particularly in the West Coast, that might be lower crime and have more private wealth but have shockingly poor public infrastructure and services and other seriously negative quality of life issues. It’s all a trade off and all-in-all the current trade off is not the worst possible but it’s important to prevent things from getting worse. [/quote]
