i must admit you have a point on some of what you wrote but damn you are defending DC like a politician double shrugs

poster
most of what folks have written on here are mostly their own personal experiences. The best way to judge for yourself is to experience it and make your own decisions about if you are willing to live in the hood as diva calls it. Most people can't afford to spend the crazy money that you might have to spend to live in a decent area so they live where they can afford which sometimes turns out to be bad. just be prepared to work hard because thats just about the only way you can make it out her. some people fall into money (less than 1% of the population) but others have to work. so get ready

LOL not defending it.

JeSoul:

ND, there's no need to be so defensive. I bolded twice that it is for gun-related deaths, pls re-read the post again.

And yes everyone knows DC is not a state however it has to be treated as such in statistic-related metrics.

not being defensive but even tho u highlighted gun relate death, your post implied that if was due to crime.

I agree to her statement about southwest Virginia. Roanoke, Virginia and Salem, Virginia contain many skin heads, KKK members, and neo-nazi people, so it is a bit racist. Also, there is houthi military in Roanoke, Virginia and Salem, Virginia annoying a lot of people.
