Same goes for carjackings, 6 yrs minimum, no questions asked. There are no adults in DC, only a bunch of pansies running the show. Make an example out of the criminals and the rest will fall in line.
LOL. That you live in VA is no surprise.

Some of the data is skewed, I am quite sure every few years MPD plays with the crime numbers in order to increase their budget size and stoke fear into the populace.
Sure a few incidents have happened in Ward 3 but that is "normal" given that previously it was shielded from needy residents w/o homes. So in a way, Ward 3 residents created a fake utopian bubble that has long needed to burst.
You act as if Ward 3 residents deserve to experience crime. Ward 3 residents pay high taxes to support the rest of the city. Ward 3 residents paid higher property prices in exchange for living a safe place. They could easily live in the suburbs but choose not. . And what they pay in taxes --including property taxes- benefits the rest of the city. If that area is no longer safe, ward 3 residents will move out of DC. The property values and tax base will go down. It will be the 80s all over again but with more gun violence and car jackings.

No thanks.
Home equity won’t stop the bleeding caused by a stray bullet.
