My son could actually live in the building he was born . Columbia Hospital for Women was located exactly where the first Trader Joe's opened in DC. 25th/Pennsylvania Ave NW.

Many thx . I've read a lot since it's one of my favorite subjects. My husband is vegetarian + dairy . I stopped eating beef maybe 7 years ago. I eat eggs, occasionally shrimp and crabmeat , or chicken. Mostly eat animal protein when we eat out . I like pork too. My Dr asked me to do Prolon FMD once a month this year .

When you mentioned other substances were also very bad . In large numbers 33% is huge.
IMO it's not so much avoiding carbs but adding vegetables/salad at every meal if possible .
What about butter? I use it generously and am overweight but no sugar or lipid problems

Excess protein is not healthy . Carbs like pastries aren't healthy either . Or Soda. But OP is talking about a cow . I didn't say that eating beef is the worst ecologically since this isn't exactly the point, I think .

Great, but you might be aware that eating so much meat is not healthy

Are you sure you have a big enough fridge/freezer or do you live with a large group of people?

After 1945, they invested the drywall + synthetic insulation . Windows nowadays have a 25-year warranty vs. 100+
Drywall is great if you need to knock out a wall.
The busiest bus route in DC is 16th St. I lived steps from the bus stop, and we couldn't hear the buses stopping and going every 2-3 mins. A few times with total silence, I heard "the fare is one dollar and...".
The stone walls were so thick on the facade and great windows, so heating and cooling was easier.
In some cities even 1960-1970 ok but most old developments in DC is pre-1920

Construction is a race to the bottom that has accelerated even quicker in the last 20 years .
Cheaper materials, bad workmanship, and greed are the worst ingredients for a building, and that is happening in DC .
Also, the best locations were taken a hundred years ago. So if you want to live centrally located, these buildings are the best . On 16th, in Kalorama/AdMo, in Logan Circle, etc.
The spaces are larger , windows stronger, more natural light , hardwood floors, etc.
New buildings shine like Legotown near Union Market. Doorman, gym, whatever but no bones .

My only advice is to buy in a building built before 1945. In DC, that means before 1920.
I live in a building from 1906 . Opened kitchen to dining, so no wall. Opened up more spaces so very open. Added laundry.
In Georgetown, another condo turned the kitchen into a second full bath , put a new kitchen in the old bedroom that was opened to the existing living room, and again great flow . That building from early 1900s too.
In Atlanta, I bought a condo from 1927 a few months ago and did serious work. Moved laundry too.

Ok but same house 0.5 miles away could probably fetch a higher price .
I heard residents complaining it wasn't easy to sell and move

Thx for the link. But not even Obama expected the extreme polarization that led to his choice for the SC not even being considered for about a whole year . Unprecedented, I think.

My son was a lifer . Graduated 2012 . He has a few good friends from school. Used to visit his teachers when he was in town. Still keeps in touch cuz he shared some news about them over the holidays.
