Violent crime is down, murders aren’t “spiking,”some crime metrics are up nationwide due to the pandemic(in blue/red states alike). Just a terrible tweet. You’d think w/papers like NYT/SF Chron facing scrutiny for irresponsible crime reporting, we’d do a bit better. Guess not (1) – at Arlington, VA

Just don't block off even more the Hill in the name of "security." The Hill already is a hodgepodge of bollards, barriers and blocked streets. Watch for renewed efforts to fence off the whole damn thing. Fix personnel failures, don't kill off more public space. @kojoshow
