NoMa might fit your needs. There's a ton of dog parks and parks. It's also on the red line. Maybe a 20 min commute to Farragut by metro, less by bicycle. It's mostly large apartment complexes.

Better that the cars hit concrete than people.

The zoo has evidently never run out of tickets yet, only parking spots. Even if you have to drive, just park at your nearest metro with parking and take the metro to Cleveland park and walk.

They also aren't timed, you just go at any time during the day indicated on your ticket.

MARC and VRE too!

They tried to close it most weekends in summer months but the office of planning said no.

You can even see the ghost bike in Google Streetview.

Much of that can be attributed due to the poor transit and bike/ped accessibility east of the anacostia river. Ward 8 has half the traffic deaths for DC. These people absolutely should have good transit and bike accesibility, but keep voting for people who don't want that.

Because everyone wants to lose capacity for dining just so a handful more people from the suburbs who couldn't be bothered to take the metro can come in.

Many of those areas would probably benefit from disallowing car traffic entirely during the weekends. Adam's Morgan even tried, but wasn't allowed to do so.

Actually, the place she died did have a bike lane, it was just so poorly designed that it would be safer if she went without one.

Or the low income people paying $5.

Constitution Gardens, the duck pond near the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial has a bunch of whole ducks. They might be more fresh than you'd like to cook with, however.

Only about a third of DC residents drive daily. Over a third don't even own a car. There's no way that the two-thirds of DC residents that don't drive daily are "upper middle class". Walking and biking is a transportation method for people of all income levels in DC. We can either prioritize walking, biking, and transit for the 2/3 of residents that rely on it, or the small majority of residents that drive.

Couldn't that corrosion be faked by some chemical process though?

Also, wouldn't storage conditions change corrosion rates substantially.

I love the smell of Metro in the morning! Smells like victory!

Your body fat and muscle mass are so well correlated that I seriously doubt the trend.

But so can cash. And that's accepted in way more places

What do people use crypto for besides buying drugs, paying ransoms, or just converting it to normal currency? Can you name a single normal use of money that crypto would give me? Can I buy a movie ticket with it? Groceries? Pay rent? Electric bills?

That assumes the exact same expenses. For instance, if you live in DC, you don't need a car. People's goals for housing vary widely. I'd just find housing plus food, etc. then add taxes. The lower transportation burden can actually make DC more affordable than you might think (though it's higher than a lot of places)

Bonzai Gardens at the National Arboretum are up there. This is a great time to go as some of those plants are currently in fall. Also, they have a 400-year old Bonsai tree that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

Looks like our lack of bowling alleys are likely to be cited by congress as a reason not to have statehood

I looked at both NoMa and the Warf and settled on NoMa. While there are some bad parts in cities, as one can expect it's not that dangerous. Anywhere you pick will be right on the Red line. If you like to bike, it's a great area, the major biking coorridors intersect around here: the MBT which is an off-road bike path that connects most of the NE and has a number of pubs and the like; and Q and R streets which connect you to the western side. It's also easy to get to the national mall. There's also a ton of grocery stores which the Wharf lacks.

You probably won't need a car in either place unless you're commuting somewhere that walking/biking/transit is impractical, which is rare.

As for the Wharf, I felt that it's more of a good place to say you lived than actually live. Most of the restaurants tend to be more tourist-oriented and pricey. Union Market in NoMa tends to have food that isn't as pricey but still very good.

You need to nomalize by population numbers within those demographics. We can't tell if those numbers are due to more convictions per capita or if there's just a population increase.

Ambulances can get down these streets just fine. People just move out of the way...

I'm not understanding the "Other Category". What are people in Germany, UK, France, Italy, etc. doing 10% of that the US isn't?

Italy is notable for incorporating its black market in GDP calculations, is that it? I doubt the other countries are doing so as well though.
