I just saw a link for DIJ.GOV where they were mapping crime hot spots
and on page 4 they use the area north of Pa ave as the example.

Your hot spots map from five years ago?

"This is a hot spot map for robberies during 2007 in Washington, D.C.
The Adams Morgan-Columbia Heights area, U Street/Shaw, and Chinatown
have experienced gentrification in recent years, with homicide rates
going down."

Hey, if it keeps racist white trash like Herring out of DC...

That is really only 3 years old in statistical terms. The FBI
reporting is 2 years behind.

I doubt it really looks any different today. That map could be 30
years old and it would still look about the same.

I bet if they went out East of the Anacostia river the whole map would
be a hot spot, all the way out past the beltway.


Many parts of Anacostia are pretty grim.

Why?

About once every two weeks, I
have to drive to DC rather than take the commuter bus or the Metro, and
many times I drive along Pennsylvania Avenue into and out of the city,
right through Anacostia. I've also Metro'd in to see the Nats play, and
that goes right through Anacostia, too. Over the years, I've been on
commerical and large scale residential jobsites all over DC, including
Anacostia. I've parked in Anacostia and walked several blocks to job
sites when onsite parking wasn't available. You'd think by now I would
have seen a few reasons for those hot spots, eh?

Lucky? Other folks have seen the reason!

The only places I've been shot at in the United States have been in the
South, once in Mississippi and once in south Louisiana, and both times
the shooter was white, and the areas were rural.

They don't like tax dodgers down south.

Harry's been shot at multiple times. I wonder what the real reasons are?

I've been all over the south, sometimes for a couple of years at a time,
and I've never been shot at.....
