There is no data cap in VA. It's on their web site. They wanted to implement it but backed down. I totally believe the throttling though.

The Motivate clinic is outpatient but they may have recommendations for inpatient treatment.

Yeah, definitely. I visited by train 15 years ago and was shocked to realize people were living here and commuting to D.C.

This made me laugh. I’ve been using GPS and phone navigation apps for decades, even professionally. I can’t tell you how many times I have forgotten my phone is a speedometer.

Is it a German car? BMW speedometers read higher than you’re going. Stupid thing is, there’s a hidden setting that shows the actual speed.

Whether it saves money or not, it will make educator’s jobs harder. I promise you that.

Yep! Southern Electronics off Midlo Tnpk near Ch'field Town Center has been the go-to for this in the greater RVA area for decades. But iirc for that price they're just telling you how far off your speedo is, not necessarily fixing anything...

The bullshit here is the city has plenty of money. Check the surplus and the rainy day fund. They had tens of millions of new money for police last year. What Young wants to do is close schools and open charters, and demonize collective bargaining. Check this parent's reflection on the potential closure: http://www.rvadirt.com/blog/2023/1/30/opinion-school-closures

When I pass the speed limit signs (that I believe OP is referring to) they’re accurate to what my car is clocking. BUT maybe car + signs are wrong and waze is the correct one. The world will never know.

so, it looks like you found the quick and dirty solution, but I wanted to let you know that some auto shops offer speedometer calibration for $75-100. They set your car up on a set of rollers (a dynamometer) and can verify the actual vs. speedometer readout and adjust accordingly.
This helped me in my earlier life with speeding tickets (and it was cheaper back then) but it will undoubtedly help you now if you need a calibration.

If you build enough housing, pricing will go down.
Supply and demand is real, you're talking about a situation where supply never is allowed to catch up.

RPS usually doesn’t embrace suggestions related to efficiently managing their school buildings - they seem to prefer to poorly maintain as many buildings as possible (and need to have unused buildings on hand when one is unexpectedly closed for mold or fire damage - true story).

Thanks for all the suggestions! Waze was the easiest, and I just got back from checking with it and it reads about 4mph high at speeds from 40mph to 70mph.
I confirmed the tires are the OE size so I'm not sure what's going on, but I think I'll be fine just compensating for it in my head.
