Gee, anyone care to guess where 95% of the problem lies?
Looks like the defund the police crowd are getting apparently what they wish for. If you're planning a vacation, why would anyone want to come to a place brimming with street crime?

Washington, DC, Police Union set to declare city crime a 'crisis' in House hearing as staffing continues to decline
The Washington, D.C., Police Union is set to declare a "crisis" during its testimony at a hearing before lawmakers on Capitol Hill Thursday. The hearing, which will focus on the impact of crime in Washington on Congressional operations and visitors, comes a little over a week after the city passed a bill aimed at curbing crime in the nation's Capital.
Although violent crime is down 17% compared to the same time last year, crime was up significantly in 2023, especially in Ward 6, which includes Capitol Hill. The ward experienced "a 188% increase in homicides, a 66% increase in robberies, a 42% increase in sex assaults, a 57% increase in carjackings, and a 44% increase in violent crime" last year, according to planned testimony from Gregg Pemberton, Chairman of the D.C. Police Union, and obtained by ABC News.
