streets.


There are at least three city police stations within a few blocks of
that area, and a Yale police substation nearby, and I'm sure the entire
area is well-patrolled. But that doesn't mean every part of every area
of the city has a police officer on the spot every minute of the day.

What most cities need in their densely populated or commercial areas are
more police officers *in uniform* and on foot.

They have lost control of these areas to the point that it is not safe
to have cops on foot.
DC has more cops per square foot than any other place in the world and
they can't hold all of the neighborhoods.



1. Bull****.

2. DC cops for the most part do not patrol neighborhoods on foot. Most
of them are deployed to commercial districts and governmental areas. So,
again, bull****.

Aren't you in the Naples area? Crime in Naples versus crime in Huntingown:

Why don't you compare Estero (where I live) to Huntington, it is a
better comparison although Estero is 10 times bigger in population.
Huntington is just a shopping center on Rt 4 with 2300 people living
nearby.

BTW that real estate site you linked for Naples does not even know
where the boundaries of Estero are but it did give us a crime rating
of 13 (compared to 29 nationally). I was not willing to register to
get the details.
I do know that a "crime wave" here is a couple kids taking things out
of unlocked cars and that is still pretty rare.
I still leave my car unlocked and the key is always in the ignition of
my boat.



Sorry, but "estero" sounds like ladyparts to me. As in, the rash spread
from my vagina to my estero.

If I was a 13 year old I would ask if Huntingtown was the disease JFK
had ;-)

Estero is actually a spanish word for estuary, talking about the
Estero Bay.

He sounds like a 13 year old who is disrespectful of women.
