Reply to Why are people stealing trash cans? by oagirl9339
Walk around and also pull up construction permits. Many cases of cheap/lazy contractors that don't want to pay or manage dumpsters. They steal cans, throw construction debris in there, then leave it out on the next block or so or just take it out of the area and dump it in an abandoned lot.
You need to have distinctive borings/paint on your can and also lock it up when not trash day and even direct cameras at it.

Let your ANC Commissioner know and maybe there's a pattern of same persons.

Howdy and welcome to DC! I often take a bike and the shoelace express to get to my favorite places to bird in dc: Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, Kingman & Heritage Islands, and Anacostia Park (roller rink/bridge area). I'm on the board of the DC Audubon Society (a local, volunteer-run bird-friendly group) and you can sign up for our newsletter or Eventbrite to first know about events. Hope to see you out there!

Reply to comment by toorigged2fail in If You Could Fix One Tiny Thing about Metro. . . [Serious] by Cooking_with_MREs
Well, on this — although not really a tiny thing to fix, Metro really desperately needs more entrances for stops.
So many stops have only one or two entrances, often on opposites sides of a single block. Platforms are gigantically long relative to many metros (as if we needed more proof it's not really a metro and actually a commuter rail). Putting entrances/exists on the far end of each station can save folks a lot of time. It's always annoying when I literally walk the entire length of a station above ground just because there's no entrance on the other side

Our bin was taken once and we happened to find it — with a bunch of other bins — at a house being renovated. I suspect that construction crews may take them sometimes to avoid having to pay for a dumpster.

Anti-Asian harassment is such a quiet but large issue in this city.
Thank you for sharing your story and I am sorry this happened to you.

This is the type of bold campaign I expect from someone who’s been on Reddit for under 2 months.

His comment was racist as hell, but the schools here (overall) really do stink. Hard to keep enough teachers in the district (I mean, in ANY US school district) with such low pay, low numbers, and growing/unreasonable expectations. Teachers aren’t valued enough, and it’s really not their fault these kids are failing. It’s the political school administrators and the parents who are to blame.

That’s more like a MARC or VRE ticket, then, which are also about that much.

I was specifically referring to the commuter rail fares vs metro fares. The $10 weekend passes help but it’s often more expensive than a comparable distance on the Metro (say, like going to Shady Grove or Ashburn)

The rule should be only the folks who end up with these “graduates” in their workforce can comment, because parents overestimate their little snowflakes’ intelligence. Most of these kids can barely read, so I have no clue how they’re graduating from the 8th grade, let alone high school. It’s an embarrassment.
