“How bad is Washington’s crime problem? Well, that’s hard to know precisely, what with rampant fudging of crime statistics. We get anecdotes. For example, via tweeted responses to an invitation by the X account Washingtonian Problems to ‘push back against the negative narrative about our city. Share why you love our beautiful home and help show the world the real DC.’ Whether the appeal was meant ironically, a possibility suggested by Not the Bee, I don’t know. But a good many reports of non-beauty ensued.” (08/21/25)
