We have a housing crisis. We have an expensive healthcare system tied to employment with limited mental health services. We fail to see addiction as a disease and view it as a moral failure.

I don't fail to see addiction as a disease. But it's also a lack of willpower. Time for some tough love.

Many other countries would not put up with these situations and it's time to learn from them.

And your alternative is what here in 'merica?

The police don't bother arrested many people, but somehow the typical murder suspect did something to get themselves arrested 11 times. And they were then let go 11 times before they killed somebody. That speaks to a serious problem and maybe the city should kinda, sort try to fight crime, especially when everyone knows that if they don't, then Trump is going to do something crazy.

Agree. I live in DC with my kids. It isn’t a crime ridden hellhole as conservative media and Trump paint it. Friends live on the block where Big Balls was attacked. There is rarely crime there.

What?

I live in Shaw. There is such an unacceptable amount of crime here -- drug markets and people tweaking out, shootings, etc. it's real. No one in our neighborhood is unscathed -- everyone, including me, has a story about burglary, mugging, carjackings, witnessing people getting beat up.

There was a moment in 2012/2014 when i felt safe, but that's not true any more. It's slightly better than 2021 but it is still unacceptable. Whenever I leave and visit cities that are actually safe, I feel crazy for staying here.

We can't turn our knee-jerk anti Trumpism into a blindness about this problem.

I am not blind. I just have not experience any crime beyond porch pirates. I feel safe enough to walk my puppy alone at night/early morning. There is very little crime in my area of DC.

We’ll consider yourself fortunate. And maybe try a little empathy for DC residents who don’t have it as good as you do.

I live on the 14th Street corridor within spitting distance of Swann. I too have never been a crime victim beyond porch pirates. I’m not naive that it’s not happening, but with a little common sense you’re good. I am much more concerned about the rat problem than the crime problem at the moment.

Same. Rats are ridiculous. Maryland drivers are dangerous.

But I'm not worried about 15 year old boys. I'm not out buying drugs at 3 am.

Go spend some time in Navy Yard or the Wharf and tell me you only have to be worried about feral teens at 3am. One intentionally got inches from plowing into my stroller with his bike yesterday.

I was at the wharf last week. It was lovely and still not scared of kids. Well toddlers falling down maybe
