The biggest cause for delays in constructing bike lanes for decades has been churchgoers from "Ward 9," and their influence has only diminished in the last 3 years. Wtf are you even talking about?

That's... not how murders work, actually.

Additionally, I always love that the crime troll poster's line always seems to be "crime rate reporting was accurate before covid, but now it's obviously wrong and under-reported because, reasons." Kind of the same logic as a certain someone and unemployment reporting...

Probably because that stopped being a valid political opinion at least 10+ years ago?

I've only gotten more liberal as I've gotten older. Most "conservative arguments" about welfare end up being an argument for reform, not repeal. And I'm not going to shed any tears for someone making over 250k paying slightly more in taxes.

What did bother me was this area deciding that support for mask mandates was an easy proxy for political leanings. I appreciated that DC was one of the first places to start shutting down. I found it downright bizarre that it took so long to reach new phases.

Also, Youngkin isn't a "strong leader." Wtf. He hasn't done jackshit since getting elected because Democrats still control half of the GA. He's destined to end up like McDonnell if the 2023 elections go his way, but he seems more okay with that given how he has stumped with election deniers.

Yeah, some of those sidewalks are so ridiculously slanted that I've been worried about twisting an ankle when running on them.

... which has meant that I'm running on the road against traffic.

I feel like it would never even occur to me to ask for a ride from someone's apartment, especially in the city itself. Even when I'm visiting friends in the burbs and didn't have a car, I would generally use public transit to get there and Uber to get back.
