Is there a particular reason you chose that area of town?
Did you read the most recent Airbnb reviews ?

5 + 10% are huge increases Landlords are guaranteed a certain return which is over 12% think . HUGE PROFIT
Landlords may only raise the rent by the amount specified by the DCRA each year, which is based on the Consumer Price Index. Increases in rent-controlled apartments cannot exceed 10 percent. For tenants who are elderly or disabled, allowable increases are more limited and cannot exceed 5 percent.
If a unit becomes vacant, the law does allow property owners to raise the rent on rent-controlled units, even if the last increase was less than one year ago. The owner may then increase the rent by 10 percent or up to 30 percent to match the rent of a comparable unit. But then no other increases are allowed for a full year.

DC has rent control, but if landlords aren’t making a 12% profit they can file a hardship petition and raise rent

You just said it's not legal, so cheaper . No back exit?

But, being under rent control still allows landlords to increase the rent so they are at market level or close .

That's great ! Good to.know

A studio is probably $1800-2000 in NW. A one bedroom $2400 and a 2 bedroom $3200.
Even a room with roommates will be $1000 or more

I listened to a podcast but can't remember. They have under 15% now and were asked to not charge during last summer. 6x that amount needs more energy.
The chargers in cities need power . On the road too. It's a huge task that I don't think they will achieve more than 40%

Dates might be wrong but they are limiting gradually the sale of gas cars .
And they will have to triple the energy

I doubt the grid has the power .
CA mandated only EVs by 2035. Fist few years 25% then 50% and by 2035 100%
They will have to triple today's grid
They're biting more than they can chew
We aren't ready for EVs until we adopt nuclear energy of fusion or something

I'm glad you didn't suffer any physical aggression.
They are turning all those buildings on DC side into residential. Also, down near Rodmans

They pick up if you live centrally.
Your dog might like the option to run out and get tired or just lounge around .
$40/day

Green line U St stop is safer than Columbia Heights stop.
I used to have 4 very busy Airbnbs at 16th/U St across from Starbucks. 3 blocks from U St metro
My advice is to be a short walking distance from a Starbucks in any city
