Reply to Dating in D.C. has never been worse by simply_soft
People tend to swipe on people they find attractive.
Sometimes you’ll run into people who are into you, sometimes you won’t. I don’t think it’s a DC thing.

Petition the DC government to guarantee housing for them, and forcibly remove folk who won’t comply.
If there’s housing available, get out the park.

Reply to Opinion | A monumentally modest change to D.C.’s height limit could reinvigorate downtown by [deleted]
“If only we could make DC like every other single city in America.”
/s
If the city wants a more dense and residential downtown, they could institute height minimums for new buildings to max out the legal height now, and convert all those ugly offices into apartments instead of trying to encourage the feds to end work from home.
A business district isn’t a thriving community; a community is.

Yes. And I like the height limit. The most humble roof has a decent view.

Old DC was a much more violent place.
The DC of the Obama years did seem more chill though. And post-COVID DC is weird in a bad way.

Things are definitely slower now than before but unsure if it’s due to work from home or just an increase in general government negligence.

Just minimize office space and let people who want to be home be from home. Convert the rest into housing.
Unless you have a high level clearance. Then too bad, go in. 🫡

Great. But in the meantime, swift arrests of the folk committing these acts is actually a small beneficial change.

People post more when they’re upset about something than when they’re happy about something, IMO.

Just get a few tow trucks and cut them loose on vehicles with outstanding tickets.

Much cheaper in Korea and probably better quality.
Go there and make a vacation out of it.

Best bet is to walk over to the Irish pub, have a pint, and get a ride from there a couple hours later.

No one is busting into someone’s home and taking it. SMH.
The US is a young country and constantly in flux when it comes to both culture and identity.
Should things be more equitable? Yes. Should we try to stop change? No.

Literally DC is a result of colonialism.
Closing the door after the fox is in the hen house, IMO.
The US today is a free and open country when it comes to travel and choice of residence. Don’t excuse xenophobia. This city, like this country, is made out of the many.

Being a “native” is dumb AF unless you are indigenous IMO. Folk need to chill. This is our city. If you live here you local.

People who hate ‘transplants’ are at heart xenophobic.
In this country you have no right to a place because you were born in a place; it’s a free country. Someone who chooses to move to a city is at least making a conscious decision to do so, as opposed to just suddenly existing in and never leaving that place.
What matters: Do you call this place home and do you want to make it better?

I do things I like and talk to other people there also doing things I like.
This has worked so far.
Also, don’t always do things as a couple. Other couples are probably just as busy with coupling as you, and singles don’t always want couple vibes. Branch out. Be brave. Talk to vibe-checked strangers.
