I’d suggest you not ever visit DC. They’ll have you for lunch.

I've been to DC plenty of times.

I grew up in Queens and Bushwick, Brooklyn.

I've worked nights in the South Bronx and lived on the South Side of Chicago for years at a stretch.

My South Bronx stint was during the Dinkins administration when NYC was setting records for random slayings.

I eat bad neighborhoods for lunch.

Sure, right. The gangbangers here were tracking down witnesses INSIDE FEDERAL COURTS.

They don't care.

All those other places you named never have things like that happen.
