Does it blow your mind that Washington, D.C. has a higher homicide rate than Honduras?

Honestly, yes. I actually expected DC to be much safer, similar to New York.

It is pretty safe. I've been to DC at least 10 times. This thread is an incredibly dishonest framing of the issue.

I hope so, since it's my preferred destination for my next visit to the US (hopefully some time next year).

If you do, PM me if you need any itinerary suggestions.
The great thing about DC is it has an extensive transit network so you can get into the city easily even if you stay in the suburbs.

For an example of how criminal/dangerous DC is in my experience, a local chain called Foxtrot shut down about a month ago on very short notice. Such short notice, in fact, that they left all their stock on the shelves and the windows uncovered. A month later, their alcohol shelf is completely untouched despite being clearly visible from the street and the store being obviously unattended.

It opened its eighth D.C.-area store just five months ago in Logan Circle, with other store locations in Georgetown, Dupont Circle, Navy Yard, Farragut Square, Mount Vernon, Old Town Alexandria, Rosslyn and Bethesda.

lol, these are some of the nicest neighborhoods in the country, let alone the DC area. That only means the other half of the city is even more dangerous than the stats suggest.

I’m sure a lot of people have to Honduras 10 times and have had zero issues as well.

Tired and boring. Find a new topic to troll on please.

Sure, but that just goes to show why this is an apples-to-oranges comparison. The story of DC's crime is way more about the legacy of segregation and horrible housing policies that make the experience in the city very different depending on where you are. Honduras's problems are a legacy of foreign colonial and corporate exploitation and, more recently, institutional corruption and unstable neighbors. They're just different situations that aren't very comparable one-to-one.

You have made this exact thread multiple times. Literally just spam at this point.

Anyhow, it does not surprise me that a city has a higher crime rate than a country. Cities are, in fact, more dangerous than rural areas. It's been this way since the dawn of civilization. I don't know how its a surprise to you either at this point, because you've been yammering about it for ages.

Welp, that's all I needed to know. Adding OP to the Ignore List.
