😭😭 They told me the same thing & I witnessed my first car jacking in NE, my first time seeing someone get shot in NW, & then my first time seeing a cop pull out a gun on someone was in SW…… I have yet to witness a crime in SE

I actually live in SE now? Right by Anacostia high school. I will say, however, the area is definitely becoming more & more gentrified. There’s a house that literally just sold for almost 900k

I recall seeing a joke map of DC a while back where “everything east of the river” was just labeled “Zone Of Perceived Danger”

Pretty dumb advice, considering southeast has some nice and safe areas. I think people who give that advice say “SE” when they mean “EOTR”

There are some good parts in the southeast. The Anacostia river is usually where the dividing line is, and even that area is getting better.
