If your landlord is threatening to evict you, contact DC OTA, don’t rely on idiots on Reddit.

In theory, more inventory = less demand = lower prices. In theory.

Christ on a cracker. I left my first reply before even seeing this, but of course you are a “Dans cafe” commenter as well. 🤦🏻‍♂️

OP leaves a very kind post, and the first thing yall latch onto is the nickname they use for the airport. The “What’s Reagan?” crowd is as predictable as the “Dans cafe” crowd.

As a huge Black and White cookie fan, I’ve never heard of these, but now must have them.

How many beds/baths are you looking for?

I think y’all are missing the sarcasm here

The algorithm always provides for those who are patient.

I agree! I happen to enjoy the streeteries and utilize them often. It’s an interesting conversation regardless.

I disagree, but have been thinking about it recently as well.

I assume there’s an application and fee associated with restaurants using these extensions. If that’s the case, if the fee is adequate, and the neighborhood still likes them, then great. 🤷‍♂️

I guess the question is, in a non-pandemic world, how much public space should be given to private companies, and under what conditions? Is the fact that a significant portion of tax payers seem to like them, enough to keep the program? Should that public space be given back to general use, now that the pandemic is “over”? Are commercial property owners paying taxes on the extra land that has basically become an extension of their building?

I’d personally prefer this over car parking, but I think the question is valid.

I got extra lucky, bc we had been on an outdated legacy plan w Verizon. No 5g, and 3gb data to share between the two of us. We aren’t heavy users, so it never mattered enough for us to upgrade.

Then Verizon started raising our bill to coerce us into a newer plan, and that was that. We’re extremely happy w T-Mobile coverage here in DC, at our parents’ places in NJ & PA, and everywhere in between so far.

Don’t see many full poodles these days! I always feel the need to connect when I do. 🤣

Here’s our mini.

Cute pup! Standard or mini?

We had zero Verizon reception inside our G’town condo, and garbage reception directly outside. We were resigned to live with wifi calling until a friend on T-Mobile’s network came over with perfect 5g inside.

We switched networks. Now not only are our cell phones usable, we also have unlimited data, half price Netflix 4k, free Apple TV, & some other perks, all for basically the same price Verizon was charging us.

Long story short, look into T-Mobile.

Let’s get a bunch of us to bring him flowers from OP. I’d happily buy grocery store flowers without reimbursement, to see dude’s face when he’s handed the 15th bouquet that evening.

I’ve never looked into living in Baltimore, but my impression was that this (real estate) is where the real cost of living difference is.

Like everyone else has said, I’d only move there if you could see yourself living there. Do you love crab? There’s no sense in relocating for $3,000/year savings alone.

On the other hand, if you don’t have anything really anchoring you here, you’re burnt out of DC, and have the financial flexibility to relocate, why the heck not give it a try? Maybe you’ll love it there, and stay regardless of cost of living.

I need a Google map created stat!

I cannot wait till all the commercial diesel trucks go electric. Imagine a world without the smell or noise of diesel.

Generally, sure!

1. NW is big. Where in NW?
2. What time? It gets dark so early now, and will only get earlier. If you’re running at 5:30, there should be plenty of people around still. Running at 9:30, probably not the best idea

If you’re already in G’town, go north onto the Dumbarton Park trails or through Glover Archbald.

If you have transportation, walk around Hains Point.

Most of Stachowski’s sandwiches are easily enough for multiple meals, and are around $15 these days.

Absolute best bang for your buck has to be grocery store rotisserie chicken though.

That's where all the trucks were racing down M street towards? Hope no one is hurt and the damage isn't bad.

The garden and house have an entry fee if $7. You can also get a season pass, which is a good deal if you go multiple times a year (we do).

The park/woods behind are free to access though, and have nice walking paths along a brook. Very pretty, especially in the Spring.

Not enough people know Green Almond Pantry relocated into the food hall on Grace Street a few years ago. They had to decrease their hours bc they weren’t busy enough in the evenings.
