NPS is cracking down on activities there, guess we'll see how it works out.

Legal fees I have to admit I kind of memory holed at this point. The advice I got suggested I should probably sue (the seller had been sued a couple times before but I couldn't find much in the way of results) but the need to do the work ASAP meant I might end up paying twice. I was extremely wary of lawyers and had no faith they'd do anything but screw me over more than I had been.

Total costs were probably in the range 40K range.

I can also recommend a structural residential engineer if you need a third party eye to anything a vendor may propose/get your own design. RESolutions https://www.res-dc.com/

Had similar, and extremely expensive foundation issues (water intrusion eating away at the support, broken pipe and disposal of construction debris under the house) to resolve after purchase that seller had to have known about. The burden on me to both sue the home inspection for being derelict in their duties and the seller far exceeded my ability to pay for such legal representation with the uncertainty of winning.

I can recommend you talk to a whiz of inspections who is often called in these cases and can assist in any legal path. Jim Delgado (who I should have had as a home inspector bc he's so thorough he drives realtors insane) is the best in town. Used to work for DCRA and knows all their tricks. Delgado and Associates, jimdelgado50@gmail.com Delgadoinspections.com. He was a little crotchety but a solidly amazing advocate.

Hopefully it comes in time, but I'd be thrilled to see peach cobbler specials.

Why you take a cab to the ER if you can.

Occasionally and perhaps more often going forward (had done so pre pandemic more), the Atlas brewery in Ivy City hosts metal bands. Pie Shop also has acts in the genre from time to time.

The law is an ass.

Half this sub loves people who commit crimes/make excuses for them more and thinks hate crimes don't exist.

I doubt any victim is "thinking they were being clever" trying to survive. Yikes.

If a hate crime victim blinds their attacker permanently or kills them you won't catch me crying.

Did you ever consider that intelligent adults don't make comparisons to one of the most evil regimes for nonsense like a scooter?

>Congressional staff make up 20-25,000 jobs in DC

Do they tho? They're a rounding error compared to the executive branch.

Not surprised, just tired of them.

>but permanently blinding someone by spraying acid into their face would not be reasonable force.

Counterpoint: some people can FAFO.

Was this paid for by a scooter company?

It was Cheh and Ward 3 who led the speed restriction but whatever bro, make your bad faith comparisons or whatever.

It's not you as such, it's the litany of posts about that circus.

I will never understand the obsession some of y'all have with congresscritters. The vast bulk of them are eight kinds of moron, in both parties; the GOP usually has an edge on crazy but there's lots to choose from. Then again bread and circuses.

No one is going down for defending themselves with pepper spray.

Please stop.

MoCo might. MPD liason units were disbanded by Lanier, the most garbage leader since Chief Wiggum (real ones know a previous chief was the spitting image of Springfield's own) but there are still specific officers who work within communities.

USAO tho, they don't believe hate crimes exist so...

MD drivers always require a lot distance because that kind of crazy and unpredictable is how you end up dead.

>charters inhibit the betterment of neighborhood schools.

Absolutely nonsense. They had DECADES to improve themselves before charters and never made an effort to do so. DCPS, especially the Central Office, is a jobs program for Ward 9 and the shills who depend on it.

No one in my neighborhood who cares about their kids sends theirs to the local.

The parents who GAF having better outcomes? Damn that must make you so mad. Before the lottery they'd camp out in front of out of boundary schools just to try to do better for their kids.

W3 is king on schools. W1 is much better now than it used to be.

I might have figured out why that is your experience.

What ward do you live in?
