IDK dude seems easier than parking and traffic.
Buses need to be better regulated though. Their timing is rough and the stops suck.

On NPR this morning she came out against it because “other jurisdictions aren’t doing the same thing” or some such nonsense. Hope the council remains firm and overrides her if she does try to stop it.

Yeah but this doesn’t change all the negative aspects of cars.
Just means we need more pressure on leaders for increases to transit. I was reading this morning that Mayor Bowser has raised concerns about free and overnight buses (may not support it). Give her office a call and let her know that she is in the wrong.

I believe all of this except the gun violence / car rage ratio. Need to see some stats on that. Otherwise, spot on.

Probably because your personal vehicle pollutes, requires a massive waste of space to use and store, and when mishandled can result in the death of others.
We got public transit. Use it if you can. Most of this country is designed specifically around cars, and is not walkable. DC is one of the few precious places here that is walkable and has very accessible public transit.
Not saying DC needs to be completely without cars, but they definitely aren’t the heroes of urban living.

Pedestrians do have the right away.
You’re in a dense environment. Suggestion: Unless you are physically unable to traverse without a vehicle, get out of your personal ride and walk or take public transit.
Personally, if I ever feel that a car is rushing me, I slow my walk to a stroll. This ain’t the suburbs.

Dude willing to walk 20 minutes for a club but says that grocery stores are few and far between.
Sus.
There’s like four major stores within walking distance of me. Also pro tip that Walmart is wild. I’ve gone once and it was enough.

Bullfrog Bagels sells them. However, they do tend to sell out. Just call ahead or order online.
Source: I buy mine there.
There’s a location in Eastern Market and on H St.

Ah dang, now I feel guilty. It’s a half joke and half suggestion.
Dan’s Cafe is a staple dive bar that is worth at least a 30 minute duck in for squirt bottle liquor and the tarped-over pool table. I’d hit there around 10, check the vibe, and then walk a few doors over to Madame’s Organ for live music and chill vibes. Friday is better IMO, as Saturday is generally busier.

If you’re here on a Friday or Saturday around 10pm, I highly recommend Dan’s Cafe. Cash only.

This is a good way of looking at it.
If we continue to push for remote work and refitting old office spaces into apartments, the overall benefit for everyone is much higher than it would have been otherwise.
