[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have finally had enough and I'm ready to move.  I've been here for over 17 years, bought a house 11 years ago.  I fell in love with DC when I was a teen and visited my sister who was here for college.  I made it back 20 years after that time and was loving it until about a year ago.  I've had to change my activities to try and keep from being a victim to some random crime of opportunity. I'm tired of looking at the graffiti everywhere (even over once nice murals), I'm tired of the lawlessness and the inability of the government to seemingly want to enforce basic laws.  I'm tired of all the excuses people give for the rampant crime from these young people.  I'm sad at the state of this city.  I don't know where I will find the conveniences that I love about the city (walkability to everything, neighborhood restaurants that are not national chains, museums, national sports, theater, transit system), but I can't take the crime, the filth, the lack of law and order, etc any longer.[/quote]

This resonates with me.  I've been here 30 years, raised my kids here, and this is the worst it's been.  But DC could be a great city again. Before you give up, please send this comment to the Mayor, the Council, and even your ANC commissioners.  They need to know what a big issue this is for people.[/quote]

30 years ago U street looked like an actual war zone. Like Ukraine. Bombed out rubble crumbling to the ground. You are full of sht.[/quote]
