No I still don't really know and don't think I will find out, but maybe that's a good sign!

i'm not rich, my boyfriend is :') so idk how to respond to this sarcasm, because 1) yes georgetown is pretty stupidly affluent 2) it's awkward to live here as someone who formerly lived in a shack with no toilet and 3) maybe I shouldn't even reply because idk what this discourse is doing to help anyone at all but I don't blame you for making jokes

no i'm just kind of an idiot from a small canadian town where both gunshots (hunters, people in the woods shooting at trees because ??) and fireworks (constantly picking the remains up on my walks when i'm there) are heard at weird hours and I can never tell the difference there and probably won't here unless it's super close by or I can see it
sorry!

lmaoooo. ok for real though the most likely crimes here are drivers almost running pedestrians over at crosswalks with four way stops. :')

I tried looking on nextdoor cause I can't sleep anyway and maybe someone posted there but I couldn't tell ya because the site is basically unusable and riddled with ads. 🥲 Hope everyone is fine and whatever it was was just some angsty kids with fireworks who will grow out of it or something. 🤞

Bro there are literally democratic socialist countries and they are some of the happiest in the world... Look at Denmark. If your beef is just with the word socialist you have a problem.

Update as of two minutes ago: still gone, two more cones though
Cars chaotic and driving around the cones very awkwardly
Edit: what if every time someone calls 311 they just add a cone and mark it as dealt with

I mean yeah fuck cars but banning them is never gonna happen, there are however ways to greatly improve the situation and become less car dependent.

Reply to Rock Creek Parkway is terrifying by ActuaryPersonal2378
It's really amazing how many people took this post and went with their own narrative of what you said - assuming you're the one driving, that you speed, that you go too slow, that you're saying there should be 6 lanes, that you're not from here, etc etc
Being in an Uber on this road is pretty sketchy and I agree with how you feel - and yeah maybe it would have been good to mention that context in your post, but the way people went off track in the comments and downvoted you is interesting and feels like folks jumping on the bandwagon a bit 🥲
Stay safe out there folks, I think we can all agree that there are bad drivers and there's also not ideal infrastructure design out here. Lots of things could improve!
