Reader Weighs in on Capitol Hill

A reader responded to the wording about crime in the Capitol Hill Profile:

"I was just reading the neighborhood profile. I think it should be updated or changed in regards to the sentence 'pockets of crime and vandalism still exist.'

This ambiguous statement is true of any neighborhood in any city. Statements like that do not paint a profile of that neighborhood unless it is seriously crime-ridden, think Detroit.

What about discussing the numerous changes that have been made by those that live here and the organizations making those changes: CHUN, CBID, etc. How about talking about the neighborhood block parties or sundae socials, etc.

Finally, everyone should be careful after dark on any street in any city.

Thank you for listening."
