It could be that, but honestly I see it's just another generation's worth of teens/ young adults now that have grown up in the "suburbs" of PG and really have a false sense of their who they are and what they can provide to their community. Just wasting their youth chasing the same old bs type of lifestyle.
The other day a 53 yr old man was carjacked and murdered for his BMW, by who I'm sure will wind up being teens or early 20's dudes that grew up in PGC, and not the District. We don't know who the suspects are are for sure now, but I live around the corner and know how these youngsters move now a days. Carjackings have been way up this year over 400 in the country, and now just criminals with nothing better to do are getting more brazen with their antics.
Yeah I heard about that murder. I used to live literally down the street and took my car to that station plenty of times. You're right---9/10 chance these dudes are born and bred Prince Georgian's. It is really unfortunate that a county as affluent as PG can be as violent as it is.

I would've been at that gas station nightly a year ago. Pg average 100-150 even going back to the 90s all through 2000's. But it dropped off to under 100 and 54 one year during the Obama years. Its been on an uptick since 2020 along with DC and majority of the country. It essentially has the same rate as a county as Charlotte NC.
Find it interesting that Los Angeles and Bostons most dangerous neighborhoods are considered equally as bad here on C-D. Both have roughly the same homicide rates but a much different population scope. While Chicago and Baltimores most dangerous neighborhoods could be considered equal but Chicago has about half the murder rate that Baltimore does. And like the Los Angeles and Boston comparison, Chicago and Baltimore have similar population size differences.
Also San Bernardino averages 3x the homicide rate that Los Angeles does yet both dangerous neighborhoods feel about the same.
A 17 y/o boy was murdered during a robbery in Portsmouth on Wednesday, bring the total to 35 and pushing record highs for a 3rd consecutive year; which is a worse start to a decade than the 90's which began its 30+ streak in 1991 after only having 18 in 1990. Also a man was shot and killed by police there yesterday after stabbing his 65 y/o mother, nearly killing her.
A man was shot and killed last night in the Fort Eustis section of NN, that's 27 for the year. The Peninsula now has 48 total murders. Only other times the total reached 45+ was in '73, '75 and '16. The Peninsula has done so 3 years in a row now; with 2021 being the first ever 60+ year.

Birmingham had just broke it's 1991 homicide record with a fatal shooting last night. This means that Birmingham is one of a few cities to have a higher rate than it was 31 years ago when the city had more people than today
But NYC is also 44% of the MSA Population. Boston is 18% of MSA population. So this really hard to compare city limits... because just comparing Boston City to New York City, you also leaving out parts of the literal Downtown area (Cambridge City) that isn't included.
If we are comparing all five boroughs I would do:
Manhattan - Boston
Brooklyn - Cambridge / Somerville
Bronx - Revere / Chelsea / Everett
Queens - Quincy
Staten Island - Newton
Tough comparison but here's a different take for Boston-NY/NJ equivalents:
Manhattan -- Boston proper, Brookline, Allston and Brighton, Cambridge.
Brooklyn -- Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, WR. I'd throw in Somerville and Medford too even though not contiguous with the others.
Queens -- South Boston, Dorchester, Mattapan, Hyde Park, Stoughton, Randolph, Quincy, Weymouth, Braintree
Bronx -- East Bost, Winthrop, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Revere, Lynn
Staten Island -- Stoneham, Burlington, Woburn, Saugus, Billerica, Wilmington
Westchester -- Newton, Belmont, Arlington, Wellesley, Needham, etc.
Hudson - Essex - Passaic County -- I got nothing unless its Lowell, Lawrence, Andover, Haverhill, etc.
Bergen County -- What, Natick and Framingham?
Long Island -- Hingham, Cohasset, Brockton, Scituate, Marshfield...
