[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]D.C. is still trying to fix its government, crime is a beast, forget about the DMV (motor vehicles) or any other D.C. government agency to take care of business.  Have met some pretty decent people in D.C. but not enough to make me want to stay here and make it my permanent home.  I'll stay in touch via email.[/quote]

If you live here, you know that DC is at a 40-year low for crime. The DMV is far more efficient now with ticket stubs, seats, and multiple counters. While the DC Council has been rocked by scandal, my councilman promptly answers my email. I don't know what Ward you live in, but life in Ward 6 is sweet.[/quote]I appreciate your loyalty, really do.  But nothing you say changes the fact that D.C., low on funds, is the only city in the area that charges outrageous amounts for tickets.  25 mph zones that are 40 mph in other areas with the same type of residences and traffic.  $150 tickets for 10 mph over the limit vs $45 tickets for the same offense elsewhere.

I don't have to live in D.C. to know about the crime.  While it may be at a 40-year low, it is still greater than other parts of metro DC.  DMV efficient, huh?  Tons of broken meters that take your money, ticket writers that pounce two minutes before the flags go up.  Ward 6?  Talk to the folks in Ward 7 o 8 and let's see what kind of response you get.  You almost had me until you said what ward you live in.  Sweet is right.[/quote]
