Totally anecdotal, but I've talked to two people now who have moved from DC proper to my area of PG county in part because of the perception that crime is rising in the city. Never thought I'd see the day.

And through a red light, too. It almost looked like the driver waited for the person on the scooter on purpose. Didn't even pause afterward.

If you ignore imaginary lines on a map, you're no longer comparing the things that are being compared in this article.

Alexandria is part of the Core Based Statistical Area for DC, you're right, but Silver Spring is part of Silver Spring-Frederick-Rockville.

Silver Spring and Alexandria aren't isn't included in this calculation for DC, but Queens and Brooklyn are included for NYC, though
EDIT: Turns out Alexandria is part of the DC Core Based Statistical Area. I stand (half) corrected.

Yeah, I think we got lucky(er) here in PGC, we've got a few of the younger people who are actual progressives on the council this time. A few of the corrupt old guard are still around but the change has started. I'm sorry to hear about your experiences. That's real shitty.
