[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, let's blame the remote workers instead of the out-of-control crime.

:roll:

I don't think this is a hot take, but I'm going to avoid places where there's a high rate of crime, which these days seems to be most of DC. I used to go to shows and dinners 2-4 times a week with friends but we've now shifted to doing more things outside of the city. Several friends have also moved outside of DC due to crime. I mean, how many times can your house/car get broken into before you leave, you know? And even with good security/camera systems, the culprits were never caught.

It's the crime, Madam Mayor. It's. The. Crime.  [/quote]

I've been here for 35 years and have never had my car or house broken into. I live and work in the city. I socialize in the city. I love the city. I also don't walk around like I am oblivious with my head in my phone, which I see a lot of![/quote]

I've lived in DC for 18 years. I work downtown. I do a combination of biking, walking, driving, and metro-ing. I've had bikes stolen, and an apartment broken into, and a car stolen (and returned). But I feel safe most of the time. I don't walk alone at night and keep my wits about me. You couldn't pay me to move to the suburbs and spend a Saturday night at a restaurant in Tysons. I don't care how safe it is. You're missing out on cultural experiences in the city because of your fear, and it's your loss. I feel badly for you. [/quote]
