Given the choice between a McDonald's filled with crack-heads and beggars 24 hours a day and another understaffed CVS with overpriced crap, I'll go with McD's.

That's right. And its failure to prosecute and clean up the small stuff that led to this escalation in the severity of crimes in NW. Those of you who maintain that Tenlytown has "always" had problems are missing the point. We may have had fighting kids and dope dealing in this neighborhood, but shootings were never a thing here, except in the last year or so. THAT is what is so concerning, along with the fact that our elected leaders really don't care.

I'm sorry, but between the horrible after school behavior, the very mentally ill homeless sprawl and the shootings--not sure why anyone would pay 11,000 for the 3 bedroom at City Ridge to the Mayor's developer friends. Density Bros suck. They have done nothing to address quality of life, no groundbreaking initiatives they back that actually add vibrancy, Just building up the block so the contrast to the squalor outside their little developments looks more like NY/SF.
And yet people are paying these prices, and things are moving very quickly.

The homeless/mentally ill issue being on the street has been around since the 90's when they started to close down St. E's and put the people on the streets. Tenley has the metro stop so they would ride up there. The McDonalds used to be located where I guess Z-Burger now is? Right by the circle and the 7-11 across from the old Tenley Mini mart. That McDonalds was always a mess as they would panhandle by it and then go hide at the old Sears parking lot or the parking lot that is now a Whole Foods. I don't remember Friendship Heights being that bad. But Tenley Circle and Van Ness were

It is right next to WUSA 9. Do you know what time the people who work on the morning news go to work? I used to work at WUSA and was always in before 4 am.
I often went to the nearby 7-11 in the early morning hours. There are more shift workers around than you realize. I used to see a lot of people from the nearby post office, other local stations, law enforcement and students. I always saw other people in the 7-11 between 3 and 4 am and most of us were heading to or from work. We can’t all be lawyers or other 9-5 ers.

A 24 hour restaurant, CVS, coffeehouse, etc., is always a bad idea.
Idk, I pulled a few all nighters at The Diner in AdMo and it was fine. Just shift people.

There have been drive by shootings at Wilson HS and at the Tenley Circle Metro. I am going to guess you were not in DC during the 80's or 90's. There is a reason DC does not stand for "Delightful City"

Yes, I hate that time of day..but a shooting is different. Next level.
The is actually the third nighttime shooting by a business of late - the scholar murdered at the gas station on Connecticut, the Uber driver shot at the firehouse on wisconsin and this..common theme, the sites had useless cameras and as we.know the city doesn't have crime cameras, just for tickets. Let's see if McD had a.working camera or two.
