It&#39;s very annoying that this was ever under consideration to begin with.Cyndyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11787927933858782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-3982930743950004112011-12-06T15:02:58.217-05:002011-12-06T15:02:58.217-05:00Nice work. I was glad to hear that the loitering went down as well. As you say, maintaining the status quo is a victory but only a start towards finding real solutions. That said, while I&#39;m not living in Silver Spring at the moment, I didn&#39;t feel threatened when I was living a few blocks from downtown back through 2009 and I&#39;ve quite felt safe when walking around downtown subsequently. <br /><br />The incidents that sparked the concerns were real, and I would support a proportionate increase in police resources or better targeting of such resources to reduce the likelihood of such happening in the future.<br /><br />In any event congratulations to Burman and Mskin-Pierret and to you Dan for all the work you&#39;ve put in on this issue.Greg Sandershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01361492059565486009noreply@blogger.com
