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.

DCRA is the worst!

I go to comedy shows all the time solo. Sometimes I end up talking to people at my table. Why miss out on a show because no one wants to go with you?

I went to two shows there and the service was awful. Servers not coming to the table, not getting items ordered through the app when they switched to that. Totally chaotic. The huge dining room was mostly empty both times I was there. Their issues are definitely beyond just “crime in the neighborhood”

I’m going to Jackie Lee’s in Manor Park/Petworth. I call it a clean dive bar. Chill, nice people, low douche factor and affordable drinks

But ya gotta drive which I try not to on NYE

I’m not sure what benefits people are referring to. You make too much to get SNAP or utility assistance.

Wish I knew!
