I would quit responding to him until he is willing to format his posts correctly--in other words, to quote correctly and to stop placing all of his text in bold. It's either the height of laziness or the height of rudeness--I haven't yet been able to determine which. Regardless of what's driving it, it's incredibly disrespectful.
...the article you sent me doesn't say anything about vehicle use by DC residents, which is the number you're going to have to use if you're going to compare it to NYC. Yes it does, since about 60-70% are using vehicles with the rest using public transit, in new york city its over 50% In terms of crime, again I don't think you can compare the two numbers because of what 14th and U said and because of the different ratios of city as a part of the metro area for NYC and DC. The point is, there are tons of safe neighborhoods and tons of ghetto in both NYC and DC, why do we need to compare the two?
Not necessarily, people try to use that claim to de credit the crime statistics, while every city has its great and not-so-great neighboorhoods, one must remember that many attractive neighboorhoods in D.C. have much more crime than new york city neighboorhoods, in new york city even downtown neighboorhoods had so much crime in the 70s and 80s after 7pm or so everbody left, if crime were just limited to certain parts most residents wouldn't be wanting to clean up the city so bad, also some medium crime areas may have dropped to lower crime areas.
Also, what do you refer to by 'space'? park space? I was arguing that a higher percentage of NYC is suburban in nature than DC when compared to the metro area.[/quote]

Two issues,
First, a lot of city user posters, highlight the answers to the specific questions or answers in bold, even in emails to clarify the question posted in non-bold and the answer in bold, even human resource employers do that.
Second, I quote correctly, I must state though the city-data on occasion gives error messages such as the text needing to be one character when there are several characters and refuses to post, only if I remove the proper quote language in brackets does it post,but of course it may not post in the correct format all the time, not certain if that is what you are referring to.

Even if they do, they still quote posts correctly. They do what I just did, and you've been asked multiple times to correct it, and yet you refuse. Why?

No, you don't. Otherwise, your posts would look like mine.
I just realized that this guy said he lived in DC many years ago. That might be the root of his quite irrational bias against it.
The DC of today is nothing like it was a couple decades ago. All the attractive neighborhoods are really safe and possess really vibrant nightlife with a solid restauant scene.
This outdated perspective is the only reasonable explanation for these really outrageous claims about nicer neighborhoods having high crime rates.
Or, given his inability to observe his own incorrect posting format, perhaps it is just an issue of not observing what is evident to every single poster who actually lives in DC.
Btw - more choices means a bigger economy. To argue that NY is better bc it provides more choices is to argue that "bigger is better", no matter claims to the contrary.

Not sure of your statement and the end there, but if you remove the bracket it won't correct in that format, it may be a error with city-data , a caching error, or a browser error , although I have used multiple browsers, in any case many people quote the way I do despite the fact that I always use the quote button lately I have been getting a lot of errors from city-data perhaps the admin should be notified, it claims there are no characters, even if the first character is occupied.
Which ones? Be specific. Dupont Circle? Georgetown? Foggy Bottom? Capitol Hill? Penn Quarter? Adams-Morgan? Logan Circle? Cleveland Park?
Which attractive DC neighborhoods have "way more crime" than similar New York neighborhoods?
I don't have the mapping tools with me, what makes an attractive neighborhood can be detatabale, although one can tell if a neighboorhood lacks many of the amenities, and cleanliness , and has high crime, and lack of diverse retail options (not necessarily big box), it may not be as attractive.
The more dangerous neighborhoods of new york city, still have far less crime then many of the dangerous d.c. neighborhoods, a lot of the so called dangerous neighborhoods are becoming very attractive but have not really gentrified. I would call some of them semi-attractive or semi-gentrified, since there is such a wide variation. That in itself means a lot.
