Crime magnets. The research is clear, these "trails" are NOT something you want anywhere near your backyard.

Actually, the previous owners of our home, were plaintiffs in some kind of lawsuit to block access from the GW to this neighborhood. They didn’t win. Most people like it.
I honestly don’t think our neighborhood access to the GW is much of a risk for property crime. It would,be a long damn way to do any kind of breaking and entering and get away with more than you could carry a long distance. Easier just to drive into the neighborhood via car, steal and get away (which has happened) but not often. I definitely wouldn’t want to back up to one.

But there’s definitely a risk of running into a whacko on the greenway. That’s why I wouldn’t advise being alone. Especially to women and children.
