Seconded

Pretty much everyone who lives in DC has had construction near them at some point.

what he needs, at a minimum, is life without parole

anything less means the system is not working

It wouldn’t have made it past those five stations if it had been first built today.

My phone autocorrects it to "DuPont" every single time.

Decline the tickets and let some other family bring their kid. You’re taking a spot/opportunity away from a child.

There was a previous post on this sub with the full translation; search if you're interested. As others have said. The FBI is geotargeting potential defectors around the embassy.

Would honestly be better to have some of them (a few runs of the 38B for example) use Whitehurst rather get stuck in Gtown.

Why are people spelling it “DuPont?”

Yeah — well, let me see how it goes. Have you done something similar too?

Keep him locked up and throw away the key

It’s just an expensive project. Windows for example, if you can get decent quality double hung windows for under $600 each, that’s a good deal, and my Wardman has 14 windows, two of which are massively oversized. HVAC ductwork costs a lot, the hvac equipment itself costs a lot, decent engineered hardwood flooring coats $8/square foot just for the materials. It adds up FAST. Even a basic vanity with engineered stone top is gonna run $600 at Home Depot (although you could easily spend $3k on a high end oversized single sink vanity). I think the gravel fill for the basement (goes under the slab) is $4k right there, just for someone to come shoot rocks at your floor (but it is very cool to watch).

So cool. My parents took down one of our Yoshinos before she could fulfill her true stumpy potential, but luckily there a few truly wizened hold outs in the neighborhood. I admire them.

That’s cute

You should talk to your real estate agent about the differences in these neighborhoods and the pros and cons as far as commute, markets, night life and overall walkability.

We're a small group. My goal is to eventually meet the hero that drives the yellow Ford Bronco and parks at Brunswick station.

Reminds me of the one my dad drove.

Stop electing Democrats…

Agreed. Chitchatting some of the developers in the neighborhood in DC, it sounds like that’s what they spend for houses that are going over $1.3m. But how? Finishes are nice. And Bosch appliances.

Dupont 100% no question

One bedroom condos in 20009 haven't changed in price, $350-450K typically.

Two bedroom condos $500-750K mostly. A few over that price if over 1000sf .

A 3 bedroom/2 bath is closer to $1M .

My advice is to stay away from any new construction. Pre-war buildings are the best . Larger spaces, high ceilings, and great locations since they had 1st choice .

I would think around 100K per floor . Or maybe more .

I would fully expect and demand compensation and/or accommodations from the building management.

How long ago did you do that, though? Prices are up about 30% since 2019, partially due to COVID related reasons (labor up, materials up) and partially due to some big new fees and requirements from DOB formerly DCRA. such as sprinklers if the unit is over a certain square footage, or the newer fireproofing inspections.

There was a recent post about this same issue.

FBI recruiting Russian dissidents is the gist of it

Yeah $250k for all of that is so low that I would be worried about the quality of the work. You’re going to spend $8k or so on midrange appliances for a kitchen/laundry for the ADU and I‘d assume you’d want higher end stuff for the upstairs kitchen…. So $20k just on the kitchen appliances between the two, almost 10% of that bid, kinda gives you some perspective. and that’s before you pay for any plumbing, flooring, electrical work, cabinets….

i would try to get a bid from Harmony, they are very reputable and local, owner is a Petworth guy and they do a lot of these. I would expect them to come in around $400k ish. Case Design is also really good but a little more expensive.
