You feel it in many parts of the city. And property theft is pretty brazen right now.

Incompetence, yes, but you also feel people just don’t give a shit. I was in a CVS in NW DC few weeks ago - young kid in a hoodie just came in and threw stuff into his backpack and walked out while clerk watched. Retailers will start pulling out of the worst parts of the city (or start raising prices), with tears about food deserts and resource deprivations.
