Wow, had no idea. What is reduced? It felt like we never had to wait for a train more than 5 minutes.

I stayed in green belt many years ago on a trip with my girlfriend at the time. What a lovely area.
Air and Space was fantastic. About half of it is still closed for construction so we didn’t get to see a big chunk of it.

Well, just eliminate the aforementioned manmade stuff and do the rest. Ocean, bay, mountains. Even though the slogan was made up by a beer executive, before it was the hub of Federal Government this really was the land of pleasant living.

Glad you enjoyed it! I grew up nearby so we'd do school field trips to the mall every year or so. When we finally took the Metro in from greenbelt it was the coolest thing. I still love taking the Metro and looking out the window at the city.
How was air and space? I hear the renovated space is really nice.

Idiots want to dunk on legislation that they can't even read a summary of.

Right? Maybe they're getting traffic congestion relief, cleaner air, happier residents? Those bastards!!!

If it's set at 100% AMI that's more rebates for more people. That's a good thing.

Also $600 e-bike is not great quality.

I live in DC and I'm visiting Austin rn, and I just gotta say, right back at you buddy. I'm lucky the friend I'm visiting has a guest bedroom on 6th st, I'm having an amazing time. If you live where my friend lives things are mostly walkable (though he admits having a car is a necessity). Visited the LBJ library, and a bunch of amazing venues full of people having fun and living life to the fullest. 10/10.

What's crazy is this is metro in reduced form.

We are from Texas, too and just returned from DC. Was cold, but great. I agree about the Metro. Wish we had something like that here.

I hope you can make it back again some year when they are at peak bloom. There's also a very nice neighborhood called Kenwood in Maryland just a mile or so from the border which is fully planted with the same Yoshino cherries. Here's a cool live feed of the trees at the Tidal Basin: https://www.bloomcam.org/

Dallas has great Korean, Ethiopian and Vietnamese food and decent Thai and Salvadorian. Houston has the best Vietnamese and Chinese food outside the west coast imo (though queens gives houston a run for its money with Chinese food.)
Edit: though I think DC has better French and Italian than major Texas metros, plus a greater variety of more obscure cuisines (by American diasporan standards) due to the breadth of diversity, ie Balkan, Uyghur, Bangladeshi, Peruvian, Georgian, Filipino, Portuguese, Russian etc etc.

Cactus Cantina is pretty mediocre. It was dubya’s favorite place but he’s from Connecticut. Ironically their lomo saltado is one of the best things on the menu.
