I have lived in DC since 2010, bought my house in 2013. I used to love DC and now I want to move to where people are kinder. I have seen people become meaner and more selfish. The crime has really increased in my neighborhood. For years, I would hear gunshots every few months. Now, and I am not exaggerating, there are nearby about every 2 weeks. A few months ago at 6pm a child was shot a few hundred ft from my house. One time I dropped to the floor bec the shots were so close and I didn’t know where they were coming from. I volunteer monthly and help out my neighbors and do other things to try to spread the love in DC. Would I recommend someone moving to DC now, no. It doesn’t feel like the city I used to know.
