Yeah that’s one of the reasons I think that they don’t care. Just gonna let them keep shooting each other I guess.

Place a larger-than-necessary police presence (on foot) on that corner. Done.

Fantastic picture, you could sell that.

>but I cannot understand why it will take Metro nearly 20 years to acquire an all-electric fleet.

Maybe it's because they're trying not to replace working buses prematurely? 🤔

Can’t answer for them specifically, but I see it as someone who has access to a tool and they are willing to take the time to use that tool to help someone else. Kind of like that one guy on the block who has a snowblower that rarely gets used, but when we get a blizzard, he’s out there clearing all the neighbors driveways.

what a well-informed question

well were. the developer has gone AWOL. honestly nobody knows what happened to them. potentially bankrupt?

auction sale is probably next

Yeah, that is def outdated info, that was the wild wild 80’s.

You’re not the only one

Investigate the stores around chinatown

Is this a police presence or did they just park vehicles there because maybe their lot is getting refinished

Lol tf, based on what, your own personal definition? By that logic there are no public forums, because pretty much everything that you'd call a public forum is regulated or moderated in some way. Bizarre definition that is not based in reality.

That usually means it's a stray/feral that has been neutered/spayed and is taken care of. 🙂

I took this just prior to peak bloom and before the crowds descended on the Tidal Basin. Hoping the rain and wind this weekend won’t affect the blossoms too much.

Good advice

OP discovers stray cats

DC so far has 50 homicides vs the 59 you guys have. Not so different as everybody pretends it to be

It was unnecessarily mean to call it a "dumb" question, when I qualified the initial post with the notion that there'd be quite a range due to a large variety of variables at play. :( Knowing this question would elicit snarky commentary and a large range of data (and potentially unhelpful), I intentionally posted it anyway with the hope I may tease out some useful trends and discover useful information, and other readers might even reconsider their current rate.

That being said, I do sincerely and greatly appreciate you sharing your rates, along with your opinion based on your experience doing this kind of work. Your 25% rule is also a good lens of consideration. And you're a champ to provide supporting info to help readers script from.

They’re replacing it

I’m not trying to personally attack you, I’m just curious.

I’ve been noticing a lot of similar comments to yours lately, basically “I put your question into ChatGPT and here’s what it said…”

What motivates you as an individual do this?

Again, this isn’t meant as an attack I’m just curious

All the cameras in the world won't help unless there's jail time served. The revolving door needs to be jammed.

I recall seeing a joke map of DC a while back where “everything east of the river” was just labeled “Zone Of Perceived Danger”
