Several restaurants and businesses throughout Washington, D.C., have been forced to flee the city because of rising crime and costs in the area, Fox5 DC reported.
Brine Oyster & Seafood House, a popular restaurant that opened its first location in the city 2020, will close both its H Street and DuPont circle locations in D.C. because of the violent crime that has “made it impossible … to survive,” the restaurant owners wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. The restaurant locations will be the 47th and 48th to close in the city this year, according to Fox5. “We’ve both been burglarized numerous times, both of my restaurants. Numerous times,” Aaron McGovern,

All big cities have Democrat Mayors and City Councils and their DA's are Soros appointments.
The residents voted for them.
Elections have consequences.

And to focus more on the problem, the mayors and local legislatures are black. Those people are incapable of self government.

Reminds me of Atlas Shrugged where the only businesses that stayed open were patronized by the rich. Everyone else could go starve. Bet the restaurants patronized by DC elites will stay open. No restaurants for anyone else? Let them eat cake!

The crime will go away just as soon as equity, environmental justice, and social justice is implemented throughout the city by the swamp. s/o

I would be curious to know where Mayor BowWow lives.
Also, things might change if she didn’t have her security detail.
Elite = security detail and/or gated community.

As soon as we can shoot looters and shoplifters this will stop. But then we'd all be accused of being raciss.

Why not label it as DC (or District of Columbia, if you pefer) rather than Blue City in the headline? I fail to understand.

I am afraid #3 is correct. I am a child of the Deep South, 81 years old but remember most o the black population were honest, church going people. I understand some of the resentment...I lived in the Jim Crow era and saw some of the intimidation. It wasn’t right but now so many blacks are outright thieves and consider robbery and murder are ok because the left has told them it’s ok. We have had two mayors in Atlanta get indicted for assorted crimes and bribes. They get in office and steal.. thieves, and it looks like the KKK was right after all. It’s sad and depressing that the black people I grew up with and genuinely part of our family have been replaced with violent criminals.

What's wrong with you? Black Lives Matter. Doesn't that make a difference?

Democrats destroy everything. Hard to believe anyone could be that corrupt. And yet they are.

I wasn’t sure until I read in to the article…I thought they were talking about the rampant crime in the capital buildings.

Socialist cities will be hollowed out and backfilled with the likes of #BurnLootMurder and Antifa. Problem being that those fleeing are liberals and they will contaminate wherever they land. They should not be allowed to leave the places they destroyed.

I earned a BS degree at the engineering school, George Washington University 1977-1980.
I lived in Virginia and commuted a short distance into DC to attend class at 23rd & I (Eye) St, NW.
There were large parts of DeeCee that I did not venture into, even then...... and that was what..... 43-44 years ago.
Conditions there appear to have deteriorated in the last couple of years.
Apparently the saying applies not only to companies, but to entire cities....

They'll move to Red States and eventually turn it Blue.

When it gets bad enough in this country, Conservatives will win elections again and THEN, the dim-0s and their P.R. branch, the msm will twist the truth and make it look like the Conservatives caused the problem
