I cannot imagine raising a family around such violence. Must feel so helpless.


Yep - almost as terrible as living in a suburban community and having your churches, schools, and movie theaters shot up in monthly mass shootings. Must feel so helpless - how could you ever leave your front door?


The only local mass shooting this year has been in DC.


You mean the one perpetrated by a Fairfax, Virginia teenager and resident? That mass shooting?


There are a lot of reasons to live in DC. Lower crime is not one of them. Whatever helps you sleep at night, though.


There are a lot of reasons to live in suburbia, but these days the idyllic sense of safety is far gone. Whether its the grocery store or a concert or a movie theater or a school classroom (from elementary to high school).


The DC suburbs have their fair share of crime, but let’s be honest: Suburban crime rates pale in comparison to what’s happening in DC these days, and the city is only getting worse.

Why is it relevant how many children vs not-children live near this address? Do we care a little less about innocent neighbors once they’re over a certain age? What age is that? Does your value go down with each subsequent year (4 yr old more tragic than 8 yr old) ?
