Murdered in her house in the Philadelphia suburbs in what was considered a very safe area. She was 89. She had lived in the same brick rancher since 1963. It is so sad she was killed by two gunshots in the home.

Your neighborhood may be safe…
until your neighbor is murdered.

There's one big difference between Boston and DC....

What is that (what is the difference)?

People in Boston have representation!

There is a pretty big demographic difference.

Yup. No way crime is down in DC, no matter how many times our leaders try to convince us.

How many times did idiots confidently assert on this board that crime is down when anyone who actually lives in the city (I have since moved) could see with their own eyes every day that was not the case? Anyone want to slink back and admit how wrong you were over and over?

Did you move because of the crime?

No. New job. But I never would have considered a new job or leaving DC until 2023 and how bad crime became. (I was held up at gunpoint).

Lurker here. I saw the writing on the wall in 2020ish and left specifically because it seemed inevitable that there would be a crime wave. You can't slash police budgets, make laws more relaxed, hold cops to unfair standards etc and still have low crime. Life doesnt work that way.
