We’ve discussed this question in the past but I thought it would be interesting to get some poll numbers on the subject.


There’s been a lot of talk lately about how bad local news coverage in DC (proper) is. So I’m wondering how folks get their local news – from mainstream media or blogs and listservs? If you get your local news from multiple sources explain a bit how it works in the comments section. If you get your news from the mainstream media – who is the best and who are your favorite columnists/broadcasters?


Sorry to throw an admin question out there but I’ve been wondering how you guys would like to get the posts on PoP. Currently I do 15 every evening with 10 publishing right away and 5 timed to publish throughout the day from 11am-3pm. I’m wondering if you would prefer less posts published right away and have more time delayed throughout the day? Let me know what you think.


Now that I’ve got this fancy poll thing down I thought I’d ask this question once and for all. I’ve been getting a number of emails from folks who are concerned that crime is increasing in the summer months. Here is the last post written on the subject. Obviously your answer is based on your own comfort level and may vary a bit depending on what neighborhood you live in but it should capture the basic sentiment on the topic. So the Friday question of the day is how late will you walk home (for the purpose of this poll let’s say alone)?


Are we overly obsessed about crime?

I truly and genuinely feel that crime is overrated in terms of our day to day lives. Yes I hate it. I get infuriated when I hear (about) gunshots or muggings etc. but does it really affect your day to day life. I mean sometimes I won’t walk home late at night but don’t we obsess about crime a little too much.
