yup, hence my comment about the bimodal skew. I could have clarified saying average wages by sector or neighborhood.

this is probably a bimodal skew. Ward 3/6? Successful law partner that refuses to retire. Ward 8? Service worker.

But honestly, DC now is skewing more to the successful professional if you look at average wages of the employed.

lol, pretty sure the palisades is as car dependent as SE. NW is freaking huge

gotcha, i guess the guy at the DMV was being extra nice that day

huh? family transfers (parent to kid for example) are excise-tax free.

how do I know? I've done this myself. took 10 min at the Georgetown DMV and they didn't ask any extra questions.

if you build it, they will come.

build car lanes, get traffic and car fatalities.

build bike lanes, get bike traffic and minor scrapes (at worst)

eh, there are zero negative election results from building bike lanes in DC. the only people who seem to really care, don't live in DC or face the consequences from being run over.

nobody has had any electoral pushback on bike lanes. even in ward 3, krucoff - who ran explicitly against bike lanes and didn't say anything about anything else - got destroyed.

the only pushback seems to be on nextdoor; but it isn't translating into election results. seems like just a minority that screams loudly.

I'm not sure it is; half the markings seem gone too

I find it not that different from Trader Joes prices. Maybe a bit lower on a few staples, but overall around the same price.

I’m not disagreeing. I’m saying you don’t need to go far to see how it has declined.

Pretty sure it is a joke. Down the street is this https://i.imgur.com/GCKHAH2.jpg

The DC metro of 2008 puts the DC metro of 2022 to shame. We had 3-4 min headways, automatic train control, and ridership was growing.

Then the disaster on the redline and bad management. Peak ridership day was in 2009. It has been downhill.
