It’s what I’ve been using to look for a home.

Of course, now homes are out of our price range, so... Great. At least I don’t habe to worry about that. I’ll just... Keep renting...

Biden is protecting you from accidentally buying a house in a bad part of town by jacking all housing to unaffordable levels. You should thank him.

Do NOT use Redfin, there are plenty of other sites.

People paying several hundred thousand dollars for a house deserve to know about a neighborhood’s crime statistics.

Cause it wouldn’t be fair to criminals if people
could use crime stats in deciding where to live.../s

people variously say they care whether there’s trash on the street, care solely about violent crime, or care whether they are going to frequently see people who are homeless.

If there is poop on your stoop and people keep trying
your door knob in the middle of the night, you probably
don’t want to live there.

Pure buckshot with a sociopathic under-tone.

Imagine the surprise that my daughter had when she saw that in her neighborhood/distinct geographic area) that there were hundreds of registered sex offenders (Fairfax County, VA).

Now with two young girls and a limited sight son, it was definitely time to buy more ammo. Good thing that her husband was a Marine combat veteran of two wars, she was a good shot, and her brother was combat veteran and federal police officer.

Two of the kids could also shoot, as well as this old guy.

However, rising crime in their Democrat ruined county, with their Soros-funded MARXIST DA letting crimes go unprosecuted, it was time to leave for warmer and safer climates.

We once knew the local crime groups and they were wiped out. Now we have illegals/Hispanics teaming up with DC/nearby Nd blacks who come over to northern Virginia for their raiding like the Vikings used to do. Arlington County has a Soros-bought and paid for MARXIST DA too and crime is rising here too. Got to get more ammo.

Yes, listing crime information in real estate articles is very important. However, it looks like the Washington Post is dropping this information as well as its longtime weekly regional crime reports. They long ago dropped information about weapons used and the race/ethnicity (when available) from their real estate section.

“that there were hundreds of registered sex offenders (Fairfax County, VA).”

Once you named the county, I knew it’s a cesspool of crime.

Whenever I buy a house I call the local police to ask about the neighborhood. 3 out of 3 have been safe neighborhoods based on their recommendation.

A few years ago, my daughter, who worked at a pizza place and told a lady that they couldn’t deliver to her house. It was a no go zone.

The lady said “I just moved here last week, do you mean I bought a house in an unsafe neighborhood?”

It was kind of sad.

I’m not sure, but I keep remembering the scene in Rambo where he locks the pumps on for a bit, pumping onto the ground, before he blows up that gas station.

Whatever the reason, I’ve noticed it. See for yourself if you think it is true.

Your observation seems logical.

I have never been at a station that does that.

But I don’t get out much. 🤡
