Crime is up nationwide since the pandemic. Nothing is DC specific, and the people naysaying that crime is worse than the 90s are absolutely delusional or more likely they are republicans who want to spread online the idea that cities are dangerous and dirty

Some people on this sub are delusional or have bad intentions to make crime seem out of control. Reality is DC is still a very safe large city

Not given to hysteria DC is better than points north, but very safe is debatable.

This. Crime is worse since the pandemic as it is in most of the NE Corridor ex Boston (though inching up there also now). You have to be alert, practice city smarts 101. 90s level? Don't think it's that bad yet, but those who can compare can chime in.
