The DC I see people often complain about on this sub is not the one I know (and have known for 20+ years). There's stuff I'm less than enthusiastic about but crime, and all the other things that seem to surface all the time here are not it. It's a wonderful place to live, and it's a city with all the normal things that come with that. I challenge any of them to prove to me that DC is worse than it was in 2010, let alone 2000.
