Review of Washington, District of Columbia
personal safety?

My opinion of general safety when I leave my house? Not so good.
I know many people who live in this city who have had a bad experience, in all parts of the city.

You say you don't feel safe when you walk out of your house but you are not exactly safe inside your house either. I mean you are more likely to stay safe inside of your house but if you watch the news you will see that there are people getting killed inside and outside of their houses. You cannot just make statements like that about all of the parts of the city. It may seem like it at first but DC is really not as bad a place as people like you make it seem.
