Hire an outside consultant that specializes in compensation to tell you what the geographic differential is for an employee who works in DC for whatever the "base" city of the company happens to be. Edit - If I were on my work computer, I know a compensation consultant that could probably tell you exact numbers......

In a stolen van. They fucking should. Committing felony activities resulting in the death of another is murder.

Changing the floors takes 3 days approx. Once they get the floors, they can pay for Airbnb or hotel 3-4 days .
They can install the kitchen island while you are there . Takes 1-2 days

(1) Yes, they do get you felony murder. See the relevant statute… § 22–2101. Murder in the first degree — Purposeful killing; killing while perpetrating certain crimes. Whoever[…] kills another […]in perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate an offense punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary, or […] in perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate a felony involving a controlled substance, is guilty of murder in the first degree. [edited for emphasis]
(2) I’m obviously familiar with the utility and purpose of a plea deal. I notice that you did not respond to the fact that he was allowed to plea to an incredibly low sentence when 25 years was on the table for the lesser charge.

The leak has been fixed, it was under the kitchen sink. The issue is that water damage extended to the floors, and since they don’t have the same finish anymore they need to replace all the floors. But I’m not sure why redoing a kitchen island and replacing hardwood floor takes one month.

I don't see why you need to move out . The leak is in one pipe . Near your bathroom or kitchen.
They should be able to fix this in one day or 3-4 max if they know where the leak is

Fleeing and being high do not get you to felony murder. Not at all. Certainly not "straightforwardly "
And maybe the facts on (2) can get you to murder, but that's going to be a difficult argument. Which is why there are plea deals, so someone doesn't go free because you couldn't prove your case.

But you sure can get that sentence for murder—which the facts of this case easily supported if the AUSA had been willing to fight harder. (1) Fleeing from the cops in a stolen car while high on PCP and violating probation is straightforwardly felony murder. (2) Continuing to drive, pedal to the floor, after you’ve hit someone and you drag them until you hit a tree, pinning and killing them, is plenty to support a murder charge directly.
The maximum penalty for the lesser charge—which I think is shameful to begin with—simply is not relevant. Even if it was, the maximum sentence for that charge was 25 years. How do you excuse Little getting only 8?

Yep clearly should have closed that whole area to traffic and forced transit + circulator/shuttle buses.
