[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is these neighborhoods became really safe for like a 10 year period and now while they are safer than the 1980s/90s, they are more dangerous than 5 years ago (but hopefully reversing).

You would never in a million years considered living in these areas in 1990, certainly not with a young family.

They were dirt cheap in 1990 (even by 1990 standards), so if you braved it you made a fortune.[/quote]

True. U-Street, Shaw, and Logan Circle in 1990 were not places you wanted to walk at night. Basically anywhere east of 16th street.

Much of Adams Morgan also was sketchy and considered unsafe.

Adams Morgan was considered the newly hip, kind of dangerous part of town, and even most young singles stuck to Dupont Circle, Georgetown and only the close-in parts of Capitol Hill.  Obviously, Navy Yard did not exist.
