Does Gallaudet Need a Buffer Zone?

Today's Washington Examiner (and Post and others) are reporting about a police effort to control crime in Trinidad, the neighborhood bordering Gallaudet. The maps being published show Gallaudet University as being next to Trinidad. When I looked at the map on page 5 of today's Examiner (link to web version), I saw that one of the murders had taken place practically next door to Gallaudet, on West Virginia Avenue and another had taken place just a block or two away, on Montello Avenue.

This got me to wondering if Gallaudet needs a buffer zone of "deaf property" in Trinidad. Here is some far-fetched thinking - if the problem gets bad enough, should the Gallaudet community form investment organizations to buy up property in Trinidad to create this needed buffer zone? One blogger I chatted with on this issue agreed that Gallaudet needs a buffer zone.
