The piece on Adam's Morgan explains the crimes against several businesses. The title itself was how residents feel less safe because of the spike in crimes .

It also mentions the meeting attended by a few hundred residents.

But they show the opinion of others who don't feel unsafe.

They aren't ignoring crimes that happened. Most have been against businesses + stolen packages from buildings.

A few years ago, just after July 4th, there were 57 shots in our alley . 16th/U St NW

Our bedroom had 2 windows facing in that direction.

I woke up and said OMG bullets and hubby said probably just left over fireworks.

So back to sleep. The next day we saw that a bullet entered our bedroom and got stuck in the bathroom stud.

Our neighbors downstairs were up around 2 am sitting on a couch . The bullet entered through the kitchen window , crossed 30' and exited front window .

Only the cat noticed.

During the Trump years, dating was I think what changed the most . For the first time, people were putting in their profiles that had no interest in MAGA .

Other than that, I didn't notice anything. We had a very bad image overseas, and every week, there was a new horror story

If you are using Airbnb, the whole point are the reviews !

I'm an Airbnb user big-time and was a Superhost with 4 Airbnbs at 16th/U. Across the street from Starbucks

My advice is to check if an address is safe. Look at the nearest Starbucks. Should be a block away
