Huh.  Guess you're forgetting our serial murderer (old news but still), the recent murder in OT, the attempted murder at Bradlee, the increasing gun shots being fired throughout the city, and the most egrigous of all, the October rape of a 14 year old girl at the high school by a group of boys who were all missing from classes from hours that went completely unreported to the community and left that poor girl hospitalized and without any supports, etc.  If that's your version of safe then I don't know what to say.

Your traffic times are ludicrous.  You cannot get from here to Children's Hospital in 20 minutes unless it is the middle of the night and you are speeding the whole way.  Ask me how I know.  Furthermore, from the hours of 2 to 7 pm on weekdays, getting back in to Alexandria on the GW Parkway can take upwards of 45 minutes because the traffic slowdown begins before National Airport.  Again, ask me how I know.

I also have no words to describe your cavalier attitude about the Xfinity monopoly.  Many of us depend on our internet connections so that we can WFH.  If you don't then at least you can respect the opinions and concerns of those of us who do.  Furthermore, FIOS still won't be offered to the whole city population, which leaves many residents dependent on the monopoly.

You fluffers need to give it up because no one is dumb enough to believe you.  Alexandria has significant problems.  I and others like me will continue to publicize it because it seems to be the only thing that works.  [/quote]

We get it.  You hate Alexandria, yet you still choose to live here.  The solution to your problems is to move.  We have a large circle here and nobody has had issues with crime or the internet.  Has my commute to CNMC ever taken 35 mins?  Sure but that’s uncommon.  Has my drive back from CNMC ever taken 45-50 min in rush hour?  Sure, but it’s not common.  Do I normally get there in under 30 mins in the am?  Absolutely.  Drive with me sometime.

You seem to cling to the past and isolated incidents and talk as though it’s the very relevant present/ future and part of a massive ongoing problem which is simply not true.  That “OT murder” that you imply is part of a trend?  It was 4 years ago when a mentally ill NJ man randomly drove here and tragically killed a stranger.  Killer deemed insane by the court.  Unfortunately this can happen ANYWHERE.  It sucks, but welcome to real life. We live in a major metro and it is not perfect—if you’re looking for that you won’t find it in the DMV.  Go find a nice Norman Rockwell-esque town in the middle of nowhere (where PS life is also not perfect).

If you can take a step back, maybe appreciate how insanely lucky we are to live here relative to how/where the vast majority of the world’s population lives. 
But I suspect you can’t do that as you feel compelled to complete your self-bestowed quest of “publicizing” the many 3rd world problems of Alexandria.
 We await your hyperbolic reply telling us how Afghanistan is in better shape than our city.[/quote]
