Why Can’t D.C.β€”Or Anywhere Elseβ€”Remove Snow? The response to a non-exceptional snow storm undercuts public confidence in the nation’s capital and beyond.

"According to the city, the Department of Public Works had 800 employees and 500 plows ready. But their own plow-tracking tools told a different story. At one point, I counted just 21 plows working citywide, far below what residents had been led to expect."

Snow is nature's urban planner: It can show us what parts of the roadway drivers don't use β€” and what can be reclaimed for pedestrians.

Post your photos and videos of all the #sneckdowns you see and tag us and @mayor.nyc.gov so today's winter wonderland can inspire better streets year-round!

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was β€œarmed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Cops find guns on people all the time without any shots fired or anyone dying.

My dad is alive and well but I already inherited his record collection and am finding it a bit overwhelming to go through. Is there a service in the DC area that can go through a record collection, put a value on each record, sell the ones I earmark, and then take a cut of the proceeds?

MoCo Multifamily Permits Drop 96 Percent with Rent Control - Montgomery Perspective By Adam Pagnucco. Rent control has proven to be an all-out disaster for Montgomery County’s multifamily construction market.Β  With almost four quarters of rent control...

Montgomery County, Maryland, is held up as an example of good housing policy but it is in practice a great failure. Its public housing authority relies on property tax abatements and its rent control scheme has cratered new multi-family construction.

If you want some nice speakers for an excellent price hit me up. Was not planning to sell but I realized a smaller pair would be easier to build a new living room around.

Two things can be true:

Maduro is a vile despot who stole the election & has caused unimaginable harm & trauma to Venezuelans, including economic collapse & mass migration.

Trump’s invasion of Venezuela has nothing to do with helping Venezuelans & everything to do with Trump’s own power.
