I feel like I generally see more far people of color riding bikes than white people (or at least a 50-50 mix) in my everyday life getting around DC, so it's always bizarre to me for someone to claim that it's primarily a white person activity.

Says more about what neighborhood you live in than it does biking itself, tbh.

It sounds like the issue is really whether to do it via emergency legislation or through the normal legislative process (where 10 out 13 of the Council support it). The only reason for not doing it seems to be... Trayon decided to leave introducing this bill to the last minute, so it would have to be reintroduced next year.

That's a really dumb reason to move so quickly.

Welcome to your introduction to "courtesy towing." As someone else mentioned, it's probably worth it to report it stolen. Then put together a map of about a half mile radius from where you parked it and check the streets. You will probably find it.

Then, you'll have to call the police to say that your car has been found, but given that somebody fucked up inputting the tow into the system, this generally provides a paper trail that will coincidentally make sure that any ridiculous tickets you find under your windshield wiper won't make it into the system either.

Then you must've just woke up from a 7 year coma.

That issue was solved with Casey v Planned Parenthood, but I shouldn't be surprised you're ignorant on the facts here, too.

No, they decided to blatantly ignore precedent for partisan objectives.
