Slow Roads Save Lives

This public pressure from her close friend probably means that @eleanornorton.bsky.social is determined to run.

It's likely going to be up to DC voters to make sure we have actual representation in congress.

Also been there and 100% agree. Scary as hell.

Milage fees have always been a 3rd rail due to drivers demanding privacy, but there is no privacy issue for waymo. They should be charged for every minute they're on city roads.

Don't disagree about the electoral cowardice but sometimes that leads to the right decision - afterall that is part of the goal of democracy 😅

Disagree. He has all the rights he is entitled to as a CM. CMs have no obligation include him in anything else.

It's a fair balance of respecting the will of the voters who knew while still keeping him at arms length because he's a crook.

Also expelling him will just end up in the same place.

And move it to DC near public transit! Spent 45 minutes in stand still traffic yesterday and friends spent 3. Would have much preferred to ride @wmata.com

How does the arrest rate compare? My prior are that this is just a show and there isn't a substantial change in crime, just in business in the city but I always appreciate when the data backs me up 🙃

I never got down the whole path, so I don't know but I think the footprint can't be larger than 450 which is why we needed a 2 story, which also added expense.

Looked into an ADU build out, just the build for a 2br 800 sqft was 300k, but with DC reg complexity it pushed it to 500 plus contingency. Even at 300 it was pricey but 500k+ was unmanageable.

Opinion | Reject the Commanders stadium deal Even after tweaks, the deal still amounts to corporate welfare that the NFL team and its billionaire owner do not need.

If the @washingtonpost.com editorial board can see that the commanded deal is bad for DC taxpayers, what excuse does @mayorbowser.bsky.social or the council have?

We hear "DC Restaurants are Dying!" hot takes like clockwork every time one restaurant closes, meanwhile two more open to replace it and then some but that always gets ignored by the anti-I82, etc. people, enough is enough.

The commanders stadium is a net loss for DC taxpayers, regardless of what Bowser and Mendelson pretend.

There is zero excuses to pay the Commanders to take even more of DC's money.

As a D4X rider this can't come soon enough. I am so excited for it.

Big wins for key ballot initiatives. I appreciate that most of the council beat back attempts to overrule the direct will of DC voters.

Are DC voters going to need to pass a third intative? Stop listening to the whining of RAMW, this is just dragging out the inevitable which makes it more painful for everyone involved.

As a popular urbanist voice, I urge you to consider your words. Nuremberg was post WW2/genocide.

It worries me to see people I agree with on policy echoing RW apocalyptic language.

We must fix poor policy, but we should definitely do our best to get America back to normal.

I'd encourage @usa.streetsblog.org to keep focused on the issue of transportation rather than pushing the issue into the omnicause. The success of sustainable transportation has come from focus on key issues. Animal cruelty may be an important issue but it's tangential at best.
