I just fled across the river from DC to VA because of the ridiculous amount of violent crime.

On a related note, plenty of rideshare drivers don't want to go into DC. Lyft drivers kept declining my ride to Dupont circle, which isn't known for violence. The ones who do, tend to be desperate immigrants who need the money.
