Capitol Hill residents demanding life return back to normal at 'CHOP'

People who live in Capitol Hill are demanding to know how and when their neighborhood will go back to normal.

For a week, Matthew Ploszaj and his neighbors have been sounding the alarm about crime and violence from the so-called, “Chop Zone,” saying they’ve been out on their own.

Ploszaj said it shouldn’t have taken a 19-year-old’s murder and two people getting shot in just 48 hours—for the mayor to finally listen to their concerns.

“It was doomed to happen from day one," Ploszaj said. "No one wanted to say it, but I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner. It should have ended when the Car Tender got broken into and the mob went down and broke his fence. It did not have to come to this at all."
